The HOA Board election process kicks off with the "Getting to Know Our Candidates" Forum at the upcoming HOA Board meeting on April 28th, hosted by the Communications Team. This event provides a chance to hear directly from the candidates and learn about their vision for our community.

Why This Election Matters
The HOA Board plays a critical role in maintaining Coles Crossing’s amenities, enforcing neighborhood policies, and planning for the future. This past year, the board has accomplished a lot, including:
 
  • Renovated the playground
  • Upgraded the two swimming pools
  • Acquiring new equipment for the fitness center
  • Maintaining a healthy budget
  • Resurfaced the tennis courts
  • Introduced pickleball to the community
  • Repainting the community center
These improvements were made possible through the leadership of Derek Hooper, HOA President (and volunteer), who has dedicated years of service to our community. We extend our gratitude to Derek for his commitment and leadership—job well done!
 
Now, it’s time to decide which candidates will continue building on this momentum. Stay informed, get involved, and be sure to cast your vote in May!
