Carolyn and I feel very fortunate that our first winter in California
brought us directly to our new home at ORPS. We much prefer this to Florida. We drive home through a golf course, see the flowers, look up through the palm trees, and see snow on the mountain. Wow! Our first season renting at ORPS got off to a bad start when our bikes were stolen. Becoming owners in 2017, I joined the Safety and Security Committee, was elected Vice Chair, and then Chair. In 2019 I was elected to the Board and have served as Treasurer, Vice President, and Chair of the A&A Committee. My three years on the Board have seen important accomplishments, such as hiring of our new General Manager, purchase of all laundry machines, greatly improved maintenance services, and steady growth in our bar, food, and entertainment offerings. Ongoing projects include a dog park and asphalt repairs. Each of us as owners will have an opportunity to consider and decide on the recommendations from our Strategic Plan consultants. As a lawyer, I respect the limitations on the powers of our elected Board of Directors. Owners have the right to vote on any new capital investment projects which cost more than 5% of our operating budget (about $260,000). Likewise, a majority vote of the owners can overturn new rules and regulations created by the Board. All of the Board ’ s decisions must be made in public. Owners deserve an opportunity to attend meetings and comment on pending issues. Transparency and owner participation are vital. I will continue to argue against and vote no on proposals that do not benefit the owners. Our HOA is financially strong. Careful oversight will maintain that strength. I like to celebrate our successes, learn from any mistakes, and work diligently toward improvements, big and small.

and me as a helper. I have also performed in Big Star and this year will be in the Murder Mystery event. I created the ORPS Community Bulletin Board Facebook Group that has nearly 800 members providing information about ORPS and the surrounding area. My experience in management, communications, marketing and event planning will make me an asset to the resort. My career started in the Air Force Morale, Welfare and Recreation Squadron (MWR) at Lakenheath, England working at the Youth Center planning activities for military children. Back in the states, the MWR Squadron created a position for me to manage all events that included everything from craft fairs to gala dinners, and sports tournaments to a three - ring circus. Other positions throughout my career included special projects for the Good Sam Club where I planned RV rallies. Nine years as a regional event specialist for Foresters, a fraternal benefit society, where I executed up to 30 events a month focusing on member volunteerism and community outreach. I managed the Enumclaw Expo Center (formerly King County Fairgrounds), a 72 acre facility with multi - use buildings, grass midways, parking lots and arenas that hosted events like the county fair, AKC dog show, Highland Games, rodeos and more. My goal as a board member is to ensure that owner input is solicited and considered when making decisions that affect the resort. I also want to improve communications and transparency from the Board and staff to the owners and renters. It is important to me to establish an effective communications plan to ensure we are reaching all owners and renters so everyone is aware of and can take advantage of all of our amenities,activities and sports.
