Patrick A. Bowen Jr.
Greetings Woodlands Homeowners Association Members (HOA),
My name is Patrick Bowen, I go by Bo, and I’m excited to announce my candidacy for a position on the Woodlands HOA Board of Directors. I’m looking forward to working harmoniously with other board members and volunteers in an effort to continuously make the Woodlands HOA a great place to live.
For those of you who don’t know me, I have lived in Woodlands HOA for almost a year and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I am single and have 3 fabulous children who are grown up and I have 9 grandchildren. In my spare time, I like to cook, grill, walk, spend time with friends and family, and I’m a big sports nut.
I believe board members must be willing to serve with passion, be meticulous, flexible, patient, fair minded, consistent, optimistic, and collaborative. Additionally they must know how to plan and understand the budget, manage the association’s finances, deal with disputes, discuss and carry out ideas, listen to the membership, and always put the community first. I will do that!
I believe my 29 years in the Air Force at 15 locations (last 3 years at Robins AFB as the installation Command Chief) and 11 plus years as a civil servant for the Air Force working at Robins AFB make me an ideal candidate for the job. I have managed military housing for both families and single Airmen and worked with local communities and governments to house military members for more then 10 years. Therefore, I know what this job entails and believe I have the necessary experience to do it very well. I have also managed and executed annual budgets up to 700 million dollars and also overseen a multitude of different types of contracts, a few exceeding 100 million dollars annually. I am also very enthusiastic and give my all to every job I have.
These are my goals for the community:
- Boost transparency and communications.
- Boost community participation and socialization in HOA activities.
- Maintain appeal and value of our community so we are the first-choice people think of when choosing a community to live in.
- Reduce or eliminate outstanding WHOA assessments/fees.
- Implement electronic election process for future WHOA elections.
If you like what I bring to the table and believe in my goals, please vote for me in the Woodlands HOA Board of Directors election! Thank you!
Regards,
Pat “Bo’ Bowen
