Hi, I am running for the OVA Board of Directors because I am deeply committed to Oakmont and bring proven experience in leadership, finance, and collaboration. I can represent the interests of all Oakmont residents.
My husband and I chose Oakmont for its lively, engaged community—friendly, forward‑looking neighbors who are active in everything from gardening to pickleball and the arts. The strong interest residents show in the wider world is a core value I share. I support thoughtful long‑range planning, careful stewardship of this special place, and sound fiscal management.
In my career managing communication satellite engineering teams, I developed complex systems that had to perform reliably for many years. I listened closely to understand customers’ needs and worked collaboratively to reach timely, practical decisions. Through this work, I built effective teams, set priorities, managed large budgets, and achieved consensus. I managed those budgets with the discipline of a small business owner.
I also volunteered for 20 years with the Project Management Institute in Silicon Valley and served 2 years as President and 8 years as a board member. Our all‑volunteer organization delivered 200 events a year for 2,200 members—experience closely aligned with a volunteer‑driven community like Oakmont.
Here in Oakmont, I continue to serve as a board officer of the Oakmont Lifelong Learning and Asian Pacific Club, and previously through the Future Club. I understand how vital volunteers are and how to balance costs with benefits while anticipating future needs.
Our facilities are our shared investments. I am committed to helping Oakmont move forward responsibly, with both current residents and future homeowners in mind. I would be honored to serve you on the OVA Board.

Sincerely, Terrie Mui
