Board
Overview
Our board consists of five unit owners who are elected each year at the annual meeting in October or November. These owners volunteer their time to make budget, policy, and project decisions for Windgate II. They also oversee and direct the company that manages Windgate II. When making decisions, board members draw on the reserve study, which describes all the things we owners "own" -- the physical assets of Windgate II.
Owners may reach out to the Board through the "Contact" link on this website.
