Calling Future Board Members! We want YOU for the Rainier Vista HOA!
Posted by: webmaster in HOA, VolunteerDo you want to contribute to your community? This is your chance. We need YOU on the HOA board of New Rainier Vista! You can make difference! On April 1st, the New Rainier Vista (NRV) board will transition to full homeowner control. To this point the board has been managed by the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA). Please consider running for our new board and help shape the future of our neighborhood!
Board Roles:
The Board is made up of four officers (President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer) and one at-large member. Once elected by the community, the board members will determine the officer positions and the length of terms. As this is the first all-homeowner board, term lengths will range from one to three years. Future elections will be for three year terms.
Board Responsibilities (What is the time commitment?):
Ultimately, the role of the Board is to protect the property value of our homes. This is achieved by a) managing the HOA and its budget to protect HOA assets; b) ensuring maintenance of common property; and c) developing, implementing and overseeing association governance and policy. It is a volunteer effort that requires attendance at scheduled board meetings, review of meeting agendas and minutes, consistent participation in email communication between meetings, and assisting on Board committees and/or with special projects. It is anticipated that Board members will contribute about 10 hours of service per month. Currently, the board meets monthly. It will be up to the new board to decide whether to keep this pattern or meet less frequently.
