Serving on the Board

Please consider joining the other volunteer Hermitage homeowners currently serving your community! Promote positive change in your community by serving on your Hermitage Homeowners Association (HHOA) Board of Directors (the "Board").
 
Do you wish to serve your community without the responsibility or terms of being on the Board? Join a committee anytime.
 
 How does one run?
To run for the Board for next year, submit your nomination using this  online form  before the end of this year. Nominee names, addresses, and bios will be listed on the Board of Directors ballots for that year. Proxy ballots will be mailed to each homeowner in early January. Candidates may also be nominated from the floor at the Annual HOA Meeting to be voted on at that meeting. Our Annual HOA Meeting normally takes place mid-late January during which proxy and in-person ballots will be tallied.
 
 Who can run?
Any Hermitage homeowner or spouse of a homeowner can run for the Board, provided that they reside in Hermitage.

  • Dues up-to-date

 Why serve on the Board?
  • Serving with the other volunteer Hermitage homeowners can be a great way to get to know more neighbors and make positive changes in Hermitage.
  • Being on the Board is less demanding now that our housing management handles the day-to-day operations, dues collection, and enforcement with guidance from the Board.
