When election time rolls around for the Greater Groves Homeowners Association (HOA), it might feel like just another routine notice. But in reality, voting in these elections is one of the most important ways homeowners can shape, protect, and improve our neighborhood. Every vote truly counts, and every homeowner has a voice in the direction we go together.

1. Representation & Leadership You Trust

• Choosing our leaders: The HOA board makes crucial decisions for Greater Groves about budgets, rules, landscaping, amenities, and safety. The people we elect represent our shared values and vision for the community.
• Preventing imbalance: Without broad participation, a small group can dominate decisions. Strong voter turnout ensures leadership reflects the needs of ALL residents across Greater Groves.
• Currently, only about 10% of our 484 community members are active voters, which means nearly 90% have been suspended. Reclaim your rights and make your voice count! Membership due is only $10.00.

2. Accountability & Transparency

• Holding the board accountable: Elected leaders answer to us, the homeowners. If decisions aren’t working, our votes can bring change.
• Building trust: Transparent elections with clear rules, fair processes, and open communication strengthen confidence in how Greater Groves is managed.

3. Quality of Life & Property Values

• Protecting our investment: The board oversees how well common areas, pools, and landscaping are maintained. These choices directly affect property values and the daily enjoyment of our neighborhood.
• Financial stewardship: By electing capable leaders, we ensure that HOA fees/dues are managed wisely and long-term improvements benefit everyone.

4. Community Engagement & Voice

• Everyone’s voice matters: Voting is the simplest way to take part. The more Greater Groves residents participate, the better our community decisions reflect EVERYONE’S needs.
• Fresh ideas: Elections open the door for new board members to bring fresh energy, creativity, and perspectives that help Greater Groves continue to thrive.

5. Legal & Proper Governance

• Following the rules: Elections keep our HOA in compliance with governing documents and Florida law.
• Preventing disputes: When elections are clear and fair and participation is strong it reduces confusion and conflict about how the community is run.

What We Can Do in Greater Groves

• Spread the word about election dates and candidate information. (All letters of intent must be received by September 25, 2025 by 5pm and elections and the annual meeting will be held on November 14th,2025)
• Encourage neighbors to vote whether in person, by proxy, or electronically (if available).
• Support transparency in the process by asking questions and staying informed.
• Consider running for the board or joining committees once established to make an even greater impact.

Remember: HOA elections in Greater Groves are not just formalities. They are the heartbeat of our community, ensuring our neighborhood stays well-governed, welcoming, and a place we’re all proud to call home. Every voice matters, and every vote makes a difference.
