2026 Board Candidate Statements

As President of the OVA, I am seeking re-election to the 2026 Oakmont Board of Directors. I believe our community is in an extraordinary time where our board must make strategic decisions that benefit all of Oakmont.

I have kept my promise to avoid wasteful spending and I will continue to facilitate open discussions, respect different points of view and promote collaboration and community engagement.

I’m committed to the financial stability of Oakmont and I will continue to work to keep Oakmont a desirable and affordable active adult community.

Across the community, members are focusing on the board’s direction for the Central Complex area.  The process of prioritizing initiatives must continue, and in the past year I have begun to lead the evaluation of the widely discussed Central Complex options and how to effectively marshal our financial resources in a timeframe that makes sense. 

Another key initiative is updating our Bylaws and CC&Rs, a process started this past year.  By evaluating outdated provisions, this work will ensure compliance with state laws, reduce risk and increase our efficiency.

As a continuing OVA director, I will rely on my board experience as well as my professional business background and skills to bring sound judgment to the planning, design and engineering process for Central Complex projects.

I believe my record will contribute to responsible decisions, and outcomes that are best for all of Oakmont — today and in the future.

Respecting community members and understanding their different perspectives will guide my service commitment. I believe working collaboratively with other Board Members, our volunteer committees and the community at large is vitally important to reach our goals.

I will strive to govern with transparency and be certain our members are informed and that our processes are transparent.

I ask for your vote.
