Wedgwood Trustees
April 14 – Officer Election
May 12 – Trustee Election
The Wedgwood Trustee Association is an HOA (Homeowners Association). All homeowners in the subdivision are automatically members of the association. Each year at the April HOA meeting, the owners in attendance elect trustees to represent their plats. The trustees are the governing body of the HOA. With input from the owners in their plats, the trustees suggest, propose, debate, and decide on matters affecting the subdivision. Owners in each plat have the exclusive right and responsibility to elect trustees to represent that plat. Trustees are elected yearly with one to three-year terms each. Only owners in good standing may be elected trustees, i.e., assessments are current and there are no complaints or liens against the owner’s property.
To help lead the HOA, officers are elected by the owners each year at the March HOA meeting. Only trustees in good standing may be elected officers. The Trustee election is held a month following the Officer election. This sounds backwards, but the goal is to have the candidate serve at least a year as a Trustee before becoming an officer. This allows the candidate to become familiar with how the HOA functions and to get familiar with the various issues that come before the organization.
All owners should consider getting involved with the HOA and participating in the betterment of the subdivision overall. Keep in mind that all persons involved with the HOA are volunteers; there are no paid positions. Owners who volunteer are actively committing their time and efforts to help maintain the subdivision and the value of the properties in Wedgwood.
