A Decade or 2

Yes — that’s right. For the past 10 to 20 years, most members of the Charleston Court Board of Directors have continued serving without a formal election of homeowners.

Because quorum has not been reached at many annual meetings, vacant board seats were filled by board appointment rather than homeowner voting. While this process is permitted under the governing documents when elections cannot be held, it has also created a cycle where:

  • homeowner participation remains low,
  • new voices are rarely introduced, and
  • fresh perspectives seldom have an opportunity to be heard.

Over long periods of time, limited turnover can naturally lead to stagnation. Boards may become accustomed to longstanding routines, and initiative can slow. As responsibilities shift more heavily to Management, a distance can form between the board and the homeowners they represent.

Charleston Court is a growing, evolving community — and leadership should evolve with it.

2026 is an opportunity for a fresh start.
With renewed energy, new ideas, and broader homeowner involvement, we can create a more engaged, transparent, and forward-focused community.

Let’s make this the year we restore true homeowner participation.
Let’s make 2026 the year of positive change.
