Board of Directors & Advisory Board

Board of Directors General Information
The SOA Board of Directors is made up of 6 homeowner representatives (Class A), 2 commercial representatives (Class B) and 1 declarant representative. The Board meets monthly with most meetings being held in the SOA Main Conference Room. You can view all meeting dates by going to the Notices & Calendar page. Agendas are posted 48 hours prior to the meeting date and can be found on the Notices & Calendar page of this site.

In addition to attending the monthly Board meetings, Directors are also asked to chair or participate in at least one of the SOA Committees. Details on the Committee structure and responsibilities can be found on the General Committees Information page.

Applications to run for the SOA Board are available in July and the election is held in October at the SOA Advisory Board Meeting.  The president of each Neighborhood Association receives and casts the ballot for their respective neighborhood.  Should you have any questions regarding the election process, please feel free to contact our office at (850) 424-5955.  

If you would like to contact an SOA Board member, please email soa@soaowners.com and your concerns/questions will be forwarded accordingly. 

Advisory Board
In addition to the SOA Board of Directors and committees, there is an Advisory Board consisting of the President of each Neighborhood Association or an alternate representative from their Board. The SOA usually holds two Advisory Board meetings a year, one in February and one in October. If there is no business for the membership to address, the February meeting is held as a Town Hall via video conference for the Advisory Board members and includes an operations update and review of the previous year’s audited financials. The October meeting is considered the SOA’s Annual meeting in which the Board of Directors election is held, an operations update is provided, as well as a review of the approved annual operating budget. The Advisory Board Members are responsible and authorized to cast the ballot for the SOA Board of Directors election on behalf of your neighborhood as well as vote on other actions as proposed to the membership in accordance with the SOA governing documents, such as amendments to the documents. The President’s are asked to share the information with their individual association members and the presentations are also available on our website following the meetings. Minutes to these meetings can be viewed on the Meeting Minutes & Info page. In accordance with FL Statute, the meetings are open to all members of the association; however, only the President (or appointed represented from the HOA/COA) is authorized to sign in on behalf of the neighborhood and participate in the meeting.
