Pending coronavirus pandemic public health orders to the contrary and public meeting space availability, the 2020 HCA Annual Meeting of Members is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon Saturday, May 23, 2020, in the Rose Gallery at the Reston Community Center Lake Anne. This is to comply with specific May meeting requirements of HCA 1993 Bylaws Article III, Section 1, unless a Bylaw is amended by a more than 2/3 vote of all Members in compliance with HCA Articles of Incorporation changes enacted by Members in 1993. TWC typically mails meeting information, Director nomination forms, and Proxy absentee vote forms to all HCA Members in late April or early May.
The following volunteer Director positions are slated for nomination and election in 2020 for which current Directors may be re-elected or new Directors elected:
(1) Two three-year 2020-23 full terms for current Block 1 Director Michael Smith and current Block 2 Director Jeff Ashley who are both completing 2017-20 full terms
(2) One two-year 2020-22 remainder term for former Block 1 Director Matt Collins who sold his Goodman House earlier this year and moved from Reston during his 2019-22 full term
(3) One one-year 2020-21 remainder term for former Block 1 Director Hillary Diebold-Carter who resigned from the Board in 2019 during her 2018-21 full term
HCA encourages interested Members to provide Nomination Form statements of interest and qualifications to TWC as soon as possible, but no later than 1:00 p.m. Friday, May 22, 2020, and to indicate if you would like that information posted on this HCA website. Or you can choose to be nominated at the Annual Meeting itself. However, HCA Members not in good standing as of May 22, 2020 are not entitled to vote either in person or by Proxy, or be nominated for a Director position.
Volunteer Directors of this non-profit, non-stock corporation are tasked by the original 1964 HCA Articles of Incorporation with maintaining and improving the Common Areas; enforcing covenants and restrictions; and assessing, collecting, and disbursing funds; all for the benefit of the property and peace, health, comfort, and safety of residents. Directors typically review budgets, proposals, and contracts; collaborate with other Directors, neighbors, and consultants to make critical decisions; and may provide hands-on project leadership. Directors must meet at least quarterly, but usually meet monthly. At whatever level, HCA welcomes your participation. HCA will also post any updates and the pre-meeting packet on this website.
UPDATES ...
April 22: As part of 2020 State Budget Bill HB29, the Virginia House and Senate enacted emergency legislation in Part 4: General Provisions, Item 4-0.01 Operating Policies, Paragraph g., allowing Virginia homeowners' associations to meet via electronic means without an otherwise required two-director physical quorum during states of emergency declared by the governor, as is the case now during the coronavirus pandemic, if the association complies with other requirements including member notice, access, comments, and minutes. This provides associations like HCA with an option to comply with specific bylaws meeting schedule and other requirements, as did RA at its videoconference annual meeting on April 30 instead of its planned April 14 physical meeting date.
April 29: HCA Directors decided to reschedule the 2020 HCA Annual Meeting from May 23 to September 19, 2020.
May 1: HCA advised Members of the Director meeting date change via a mailed written notice and a related Written Consent based on Virginia Nonstock Corporation Act Chapter 10, Section 13.1-865. entitled "Action without meeting of board of directors."
