Board elects 2026–2027 officers, affirms secret-ballot process

The board convened its initial 2026–2027 organizational meeting on April 15 and confirmed the slate of officers after nominations and secret-ballot voting.

President Travis Johnson was nominated and the chair was confirmed to retain the presidency for the 2026–2027 term. The board announced Amy Cannon as vice president, Georgina Cannon as secretary and Matt Hollnagel as treasurer. The president also appointed Ms. Copeland as assistant secretary and Tony Champ as parliamentarian; the board approved a secretary certificate that identifies who has signatory authority for the association and stated alternates in the president’s absence.

The president described the nomination and voting procedure and cited the Virginia Property Owners Association Act (section 55‑510.1.b) authorizing secret ballots for officer elections. "Whereas an association uses secret ballots in the election of officers…to afford each board member the opportunity to cast his or her ballot anonymously," the president said, explaining that members not present could text votes to general counsel and that tabulation would be done by counsel and not disclosed as counts.

Board members briefly questioned nominees about capacity and attendance. Treasurer nominee Matt Mulvanix acknowledged regular travel but told the board he would continue to dial in remotely and had solicited input from former officers before seeking reappointment. After the confidential tabulation process, the president announced the winners and the board completed officer appointments without recorded objection.

The meeting also included a routine distribution of conflict-of-interest forms; staff asked that outstanding forms be returned by the next meeting.

The board adjourned the organizational business portion of the meeting after appointing officers and confirming operational signatory arrangements.
