ELECTION BALLOTS ARE IN YOUR MAILBOX

All homeowners will be receiving their HOA Board ballots in their mailbox. Included in the ballot are the candidates' statements.

The candidates were not given the opportunity in their statements to identify the challenges facing our HOA and how they are qualified to address these challenges for our future.

The meet your candidate forum has past. Were you satisfied with the questions presented and the candidates answers?

Are there other challenges facing our community that need to be addressed?

Here are some examples:

Reducing/eliminating costs to minimize increases in dues.
Finding additional sources of revenue.
Improving the channels of communication between homeowners and the HOA board.
Increasing homeowner involvement in the community.
Managing the reserves to meet maintenance and future replacement needs.
Reaching out and involving homeowners with their skills and knowledge.

The Blog welcomes your comments on the listed challenges above. What other challenges are important to you?

THE 2024 BOARD ELECTION

There will be two new board members that will be elected to the upcoming HOA Board (5 candidates are campaigning for these two slots).

For those that were unable to attend the Candidate Forum this last Saturday (January 13th), a link is posted below for viewing. This is an opportunity for everyone to see the candidates in action and help all of us make an informed decision.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Last year homeowners experienced the largest increase in dues in the history of the Desert Princess Country Club. Do you want the next annual increase to be repeated?

As owners, we have an opportunity to select the best two individuals that can help the HOA make changes to minimize and/or reduce our dues.
The new board members we select, will have a hand in shaping our future for the next three years.
There is a short window for all of us to vote. The ballots will be sent out this week and will be counted on Saturday, February 24th.

EXAMPLES OF WHAT OWNERS CAN DO

Contact the candidates by email, phone or visit in person.
Take time to learn and understand their qualifications.
Ask the candidates what they believe are the most important issues facing our HOA and how they plan to address these issues.

The Blog would also like to start a dialog within the community. Please feel free to make your thoughts known.
