What has been your board’s greatest achievement in the last 3 years? Anything you are proud of!: Since Declarant transition we have, in just two operating budget cycles attained a stable, secure financial position for Vallarta Owners and it is a gratifying achievement.

How long has PDS been your HOA Management partner?: Approximately 18 months.

What is the greatest value PDS brings to your Arizona HOA?: Record keeping and Compliance.

How has COVID impacted your HOA this year? What, if any, lessons have the board learned from this impact?: Our Covid Impact was the closing our our small community pool. With only 107 homes we all know and socialize through community get togethers, which of course ceased. Effectively communicating by signage posting was a new skill learned, as was how to stay connected during the lockdown. An example is birthdays -residents took the initiative and we now arrive masked and socially distanced to serenade the Birthday resident with happy birthday, cards and gifts outside on their driveway.

What fun community events is your HOA excited to plan for this year, or maybe next?: We are not currently planning as our pool area is the heart of our community and it is still limited by mandate to no more than 10.

Traditionally, what has been your most successful community event?: Traditionally our most popular and successful events are a Christmas cookie exchange followed by a tour of Holiday decorations at 5 neighborhood homes, and St. Patrick’s Day dinner.
