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 of being on the Board? Join a committee anytime.
 
 How does one run?
Submit nominations for next year's Board using this  online form  before the end of this year. Candidates names, addresses, and bios will be listed on the Board of Directors ballots. Annual HOA Meetings have traditionally taken place at our clubhouse in mid to late January. Proxy ballots are normally mailed to each homeowner 10-20 days prior. All proxy and in-person ballots are tallied during the meeting.
 
 Who can run?
Any Hermitage homeowner or spouse of a homeowner can run for the Board, provided that they reside in Hermitage.
 
 What would be expected?
  • Attendance at 4 quarterly Board meetings and others as required
  • Ability to correspond via email
  • Normally a 2-year commitment
  • Dues up-to-date
  • No previous experience needed
 What are the director positions?
  1. President presides at meetings and represents HOA at events
  2. First Vice-President acts in the President's absence
  3. Second Vice-President manages committees
  4. Secretary records meeting minutes
  5. Treasurer monitors finances
Nominations are not for a specific director position but you may indicate a preference on the form. Positions are agreed upon by the elected members at the 1st Board meeting
 
 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.
