A Message from Nicole Lynam, former Association President and Board Member

As many of know, although I was likely to be appointed, I withdrew myself from consideration for the open HOA board seat on April 18. I would like to say congratulations to Andy Rehn for his appointment to the board. I think he is a great addition to the board and brings some very useful knowledge and skills to that role.

I would like to thank my fellow board members Sandra Murray, Michael Snedeker, Stephanie Fee, Randy Harvey, and Christa Tropin for their unwavering support on April 18, throughout the campaign, and over the past years sitting together on the board. I will forever cherish the kind words each of you said on April 18 in my defense. I know my decision was a shock and disappointment to you. We have faced some battles and there is nobody else that I would have wanted sitting in the foxhole beside me. I wish you all the best of luck with continuing your support of our community from the board table. We have amazing staff and consultants to help guide you... use their expertise. I know there are still many challenges ahead but I have full confidence that you can handle them. I hope our new board is able to bridge the division, find common ground, and work together to repair our community.

I would like to thank all the other board members that I have served with for the last three years. It has been a pleasure to get to know all of them and work toward keeping our community the special place it has always been. Thank you to Kate O’Hara and Beth Zima for serving beside me on DRAC. I will miss counting shrubs and approving paint colors with you. I will still be around for a while to help train my replacement.

Thank you to the Dobson Ranch HOA amazing staff. You are the backbone of this community and your long hours and hard work is appreciated more than words can describe. There have been a lot of changes over the past year but it has been a pleasure to watch them grow into an amazing team with a deep love for Dobson Ranch. The experience, new ideas, collaboration, and efficiency that they bring to our community is priceless.

And thank you to the residents that have, and continue to, support me and our community. You are the heart of our community and what makes Dobson Ranch the special and one-of-a-kind place that it is. Dobson Ranch is “The Best Place to Live” because of you.

Like I said on April 18, I am still available to help this community and the board in whatever ways I am able to, I just need to do it from this side of the table. I hope to continue being involved with committees and clubs, as my time allows.
