We are proud also to have developed good working relationships with elected officials and county staff. This helps us to get your needs and concerns addressed. Our residents and board members are members of important committees and are active participants in the President’s Council, and the Estuary Conservation Association as well as many other groups. We are pleased to work cooperatively with the boards and committees of other local homeowners associations. Board meetings are held regularly and are open to members. Want to be part of the action? Call any member of the board and volunteer your services. You and your ideas will be most welcome!
