Thinking About Running for the SHPOA Board?
The SHPOA Board of Governors election is coming up in November 2026. If you’re thinking about running for a board seat, you might also want to consider taking up juggling chainsaws—it could be less stressful.
Serving on a board can be rewarding, but only when the organization has the confidence of the community. If you believe the board has developed a reputation for poor communication, lack of transparency, or dismissing property owners’ concerns, ask yourself one question: is that a reputation you want attached to your name?
There are plenty of ways to serve your community without becoming the face of an organization that some property owners view critically. Stay informed, ask tough questions, vote, and hold the board accountable. Sometimes the best seat is the one you never run for.
