BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Association's Board of Directors is made up 7 homeowners that volunteer their time for the administration of the affairs of the Association to include protecting and enhancing the assets of the community. The Association prides itself on promoting the concept of community and neighbor connectedness. 

Meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each month with the exception of adjustments made during the holidays. 

"Mike, Lucy and I have lived in Spectrum for almost 13 years now. I have had the pleasure of serving on the Spectrum at Val Vista board for the past 4 years. This last year I served as the Board President.  I also served on the Spectrum Common Area Use Committee which successfully drafted our Common Area Use Policy and approved the usage signs throughout the community. I am a local real estate agent and my 13 years of real estate background have been helpful in some of my community decisions on the board. As a member of the board, I strive to improve our property values within our community and maintain our affordable HOA fees. "

"I also feel it is important to solicit homeowner input on various HOA discussion items, so I represent the homeowners on board decisions. We completed a marketing branding project last year and our successful budgeting process gave us the opportunity to put some money back into our neighborhood with new granite, plants, and trees. I am passionate about our community and will strive to make Spectrum a great place to live."

Kari Hansen, Bel Aire Resident, 20 years
President

"Over the years, I have served on numerous boards, councils, and committees. I have always been involved in my community and feel like I have a lot to contribute. My wife Tracy and I lived in Central Phoenix in the same home for 41 years. We moved to Spectrum in July of 2015 because our son, daughter-in-law, and two grand-daughters live 10 houses down the street from us."

"I have been a Sound & Video System contractor for 40 plus years. When you have been in business that long, you meet a lot of people and make a lot of good contacts. Astonishing customer service is the reason that I have many clients that I still serve after 30-40 years. "

Russ Perry, Renaissance Resident, 10 years
