FAQ / Board: How can I become a Board or Committee Member of the Sunrise Mountain View Estates?

Sunrise Mountain View Estates Homeowners Association (SMVE HOA) is a non-profit corporation in AZ. The duly elected Board of Directors is charged by AZ governing documents (Conditions Covenants & Restrictions, Bylaws, & Rules and Regulations) to lead and manage all aspects of the SMVE Community Commons, structures, road etc. in the Tucson Catalina Foothills of the SMVE Community.

Further, the SMVE HOA has been “self-governed” by volunteers without a property management company for over 20 years. Volunteer Homeowners share their credentialed expertise, cumulative experience, and personal time and energy for the benefit of their neighbors without financial remuneration. Each Board of Director serves for 3-year terms making themselves available all year except for occasional vacation time which is then covered by other Board members in their absence.

The first step to becoming a member of the Board or Committee would be to email or call the Chair of the Nominating Committee and Board President and tell him what special expertise you want to share. The committee requires a short resume (1-page written) plus a Cover Letter including degrees earned, expertise in your life work, how you want to contribute with continuous time and effort. Your willingness to attend monthly board meetings is a great start. Consistent attendance is a requirement for maximum input to problem solving, dialogue, continuous learning, and willingness to assume responsibility for special projects. Such beginning efforts detailed above would help acquaint you with the operation and the organization of the HOA, get to know the Chairmen of Committees, and learn about the organization’s structure, financials, budgets and prospective planning future capital expenditures on major committee projects for each year.
