Meet the Candidates
Donna Provence
It is important that we maintain a strong financial
foundation and continue to grow our reserves and
protect our capital asset fund. We must remain mindful of the eventual transition from developer to resident control. After transition we will not have the developer as a safety net financially. This will be one of the most important and stressful times we will ever have. It is a must that we are prepared. We will need our most talented leaders to guide us through this time. Donna Provence is a “proven, experienced leader.”
 
It is important to remember we are a community of
retirees, many on fixed incomes. We must keep this in
mind when making financial decisions.
 
It is important to encourage everyone to be good
neighbors. That includes keeping an eye on our more
elderly friends, as well as being respectful of one another at all times. Everyone has a right to their views and beliefs but not the right to force them on others.
 
It important for the Board of Directors to maintain a good working relationship with the developer, however our loyalties must lie with the residents of Sun City Texas. We are a significant percent of the population of Georgetown and Williamson County. We need to work closely with them to keep our interests protected and preserved and our community safe.
 
It is important we maintain our amenities, landscapes, trails and fauna by working with Firewise and Water Matters groups as well as appropriate authorities. We must conserve our water resources and work in the best interest of our wildlife while constantly remaining aware of safety/security issues.
 
It is important to retain outstanding CA staff to continue the excellent operations we have. We are fortunate to have an award-winning group of employees and such a high retention rate.

I believe the community benefits most by electing residents who have a record of service to Sun City Texas. Success as a CA Board member requires the insights such service brings along with the aptitude and ability to make informed decisions focused on maintaining and preserving what is in the best interests of the whole community. 
 
I have had the privilege of serving four years on the Property & Grounds Advisory Committee, and a year ago completed four years on the CA Board. I believe I have demonstrated my service and skills on a variety of community and staff projects, and programs and have done so on many occasions. I have been involved with our community’s use of water (and our other utilities) since 2009. During my time on the Board, I had a contributing role in many community matters and accomplishments which included restoring our golf courses and operations to a high standard, helping guide our community through the COVID crisis, and assisting in the repair process of the CA facilities damaged by the February 2021 ice storm. The CA staff appropriately deserve the credit for these accomplishments, but your advisory committees, clubs, NRO and the CA Board played integral roles in the process of accomplishing these outcomes. 
 
Accomplishments like those mentioned above, and others, require solid and respectful working relationships with many groups and individuals. It also requires an understanding of the many details involved in a process or program to assure sound decisions are made, the right help or assistance is provided, and the best possible courses of action are taken.   
 
I would appreciate your vote and support.
