I am excited to announce my candidacy for the OVA Board of Directors. I am committed to ensuring that Oakmont remains a vibrant and sustainable place to live in for years to come. Here are my key reasons for running:
Fiscally Responsible Leadership
With extensive experience in managing large-scale culinary operations, including executive chef positions at prestigious establishments such as the Fountaingrove Golf Club, John Ash & Co., and the Fairmont Hotel, I understand the importance of fiscal responsibility. Many of our homeowners are on fixed incomes, so continuous increases in monthly assessments and the possibility of large project-based assessments will impact on their financial security. I pledge to advocate for fiscal restraint to protect our community’s financial health.
Fiscal Transparency
The recent handling of the Berger/CAC remodel project raised significant concerns due to the lack of cost disclosure and funding methods. I strongly believe that any project should proceed with full transparency regarding costs and funding, including any bank loans that might bypass a membership vote. I will work to guarantee that all financial decisions are made openly with full community input and approval.
Improving the Oak Restaurant Operations
I propose to establish a Food & Beverage Committee as a subcommittee of the golf operation committee. This committee will serve as a liaison between CourseCo and the OVA community, addressing concerns about culinary standards and profitability. This will maximize the quality and minimize the loss. If necessary, we will explore renegotiating the contract with CourseCo or finding a new management company to provide better service and financial performance.
Currently, I am honored to serve as the President of the Starry Knolls HOA.
You can rest assured I am dedicated to focusing on transparency, fiscal responsibility, and maintaining a well-managed Oakmont Village Association. I humbly ask for your support.
