2022 BOT Election: Candidates

It is with pleasure that we present to you the slate of nominees for the 2022 Board of Trustees election cycle, Michael Dorne, Steve Grapp, and Suprena Lohrer. While we know you will appreciate their profiles, we also wanted to provide an opportunity to learn more about each candidate and their desire to serve our community. For that reason questions were compiled from the perspective of property owners and submitted to the candidates. Here you will find the profile and question responses submitted by each, for your consideration. We want to thank the candidates for their responsiveness and attention to detail during the nominating process.
