A Note from the Executive Director

Kyle Bodyfelt, Executive Director

Lincoln Hills has reached the quarter-century mark, and from its inception in 1999 to today, it has been the combined efforts of many, including, but not limited to, the Del Webb corporation, residents, volunteers, staff, and partnership with local government. It was through all of these entities working together to create this gem in the Lincoln Hills, and it will be through continued cooperation for success over the next 25 years.

Strategic fit among many activities is fundamental not only to competitive advantage but also to the sustainability of that advantage. The infrastructure that was created here could only be matched today at an exorbitant entry cost. It is harder for a new development to match an array of interlocked activities than it is merely to imitate a particular set of amenities, match the offering of services, or create a natural setting.

While Lincoln Hills is extremely well positioned, maintaining the incredible lifestyle offered for the next 25 years requires planning and strategy. We are excited about the joint effort that will be taking place to establish the Lincoln Hills Vision, Mission, and Master Plan. Based on the unique nature of our setting, we really do not have competition from outsiders, and we cannot rest on our laurels.

Seeing strategy in terms of activity systems only makes it more evident why organizational structure, systems, and processes need to be strategy-specific. Continuity fosters improvements in individual activities and the fit across activities while also reinforcing Lincoln Hills’ identity.

This effort begins now and will include the cooperation of many to achieve success. The Board of Directors understands the importance of executing a strong Strategic Plan to ensure Lincoln Hills is Northern California’s premier active adult community.
