The HPCIA Board Members for 2018 are:

At the end of each year, around November, elections for the Board of Directors of the Home Park Community Improvement Association (HPCIA) are held.  Those who are interested in serving in a Board position or on the Nomination Committee (to assist soliciting and vetting candidates) are encouraged to contact the current Board at elections@homepark.org.

Though all Board positions are up for a vote and volunteers may nominate themselves for any position, we have a particular need for a President (or as in the past 2 years, two Co-Presidents), Membership Chair, and Special Events Chair.  Note that according to our By-Laws, presidential candidates should have served on the Board previously, but if we don’t have an active or former board member pursue this role, it will be open for nominations/votes.

The slate of candidates will be presented at the final Community Meeting of the year. Note, that those voting for Board positions and serving in these roles must be active (dues-paying members): Join Now

No compensation is provided for any Board position, these are volunteer positions only.

Deadline to submit an email for consideration is Nov. 13th, 2018
