2022 HOA Board Elections for 2023 Officers
The HOA is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors with each Director serving a 3-year term. There are 5 open seats on the 2023 BV/S HOA Board and 4 neighbors have volunteered to run. Write-in candidates are welcome.
Please take the time to vote online, mail in your ballot, or hand deliver it before or at the meeting. For the election to be valid, we must receive completed ballots from at least 10% of the 2022 HOA members.
The candidates for the open Director seats have provided the following information:
Vivian A. Featherston, Arch Hill Drive. My husband, children, and I have lived in Austin since 2004 and have owned a home in Balcones Village since 2017. With a background of over 20 years in the design and construction industry, I would share my expertise in creative problem solving, project management, organizational skills, and technical talents with the Balcones Village HOA and Board of Directors. For nearly the past two decades I have volunteered with a range of groups, foundations and projects with groups such as IIDA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Meals on Wheels, Zero Landfill by Bee Dance, Northwest Swim Circuit, Habitat for Humanity, Austin Pets Alive, Social Design Alliance, and Feed the Community. Within the groups, I have held various positions including volunteer, Events Coordinator, Fundraising Chair, Circuit Rep Coordinator, Communications Chair, Treasurer, Director, and President. My combination of professional and volunteer experiences provide a foundation for creative approaches to problem solving. For the HOA, my goal would be to promote Balcones Village / Spicewood as a top-tier community by approaching solutions with the big picture in mind with a focus on community, schedules, and transparency.
Jacque Forrest, Spring Hollow. My husband Jay and I relocated to Balcones Village 8 years ago to downsize and live close to our daughter and her family when I retired after a 40+ year career as a UT Chemical Engineer in the petroleum refining industry. I've served on the BV/S HOA Board since 2016. In 2017, I accepted the responsibilities of chairing the ACC after the previous chairman resigned and I continue to do so. Last year I was appointed to fill the unexpired term on the Board to be Treasurer when the previous one resigned. I am well qualified for that role as a result of my technical background and experience with computer tools, etc. I look forward to continuing my volunteer roles with the HOA.
Don Gutierrez, Spring Hollow Dr. My name is Audon Gutierrez but I answer to Don. I have lived in Balcones Village for 12 years with my wife Amy. Our 2 children are adults and live near Austin. We have 4 grandchildren. I am retired. I have served this HOA board for the last 3 years as the Membership Chair. I love the neighborhood and enjoy working for this voluntary HOA and our community.
Roland Segovia, Sr., Cedar Crest Drive. I am a native Texan who grew up in Corpus Christi. At age 19 I joined the Air Force and served until 1993, at which time I made the decision to move to Austin. Since then I have been employed with several companies as well as state and local government agencies. I have served as an IT Professional, IT Project Manager, and in various senior/line management positions. I currently am employed by Q2 in the position of IT Agile Coach Manager. After owning several homes in Austin, in 2016 I finally settled down for good on Cedar Crest Drive where I share my home with my partner Ryan and our dog Petra. I have a son, Roland Jr., who currently lives in Weslaco, Texas. Since moving to Austin, I have volunteered for a range of causes such as Meals on Wheels, Austin Pets Alive, Austin Food Bank, Wee Rescue, Habitat for Humanity, and others. I participated in an HOA while living in another neighborhood. I will serve the BVHOA with integrity and I offer my problem solving, IT, and Project Management skills.
