VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE for a new OVA Board of Directors

By Bruce Bon | March 28, 2025 |

If you have not already done so, you should receive your new, complete election packet, including a YELLOW ballot, today or tomorrow. If you wish to have a voice in Oakmont affairs, you MUST vote using the new yellow ballot — none of the earlier blue ballots will be counted.

The month-long delay has given everyone more opportunity to learn about the candidates. If you haven’t earlier been paying attention (or you have forgotten), below are links that will enable you to learn about all the candidates. With these, you should have all the information needed to make a good decision on who you want to represent you on the new Board.

IMPORTANT: I am sure that the list below is incomplete. If you have links to web pages or Nextdoor posts that fit into one of the categories below and that would further inform OVA voters, let me know and I will add them to this article.
