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, submit your nomination using the online form before January 1st of the year that you wish to run. 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. Our Annual HOA Meeting normally takes place 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, as long as they reside in Hermitage.

Nominations are not for a specific director position but you may indicate a preference at that time. Positions are agreed upon by the elected members at the 1st board meeting
 
 What are the 5 positions?
  1. President presides at meetings and represents HOA at events

 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.
