Letter from the Chair
It has been a busy and rewarding year, and I want to thank the Members of the Palmetto Dunes POA for the opportunity to serve. This has been the hardest I’ve worked on a non-profit board, and I’m grateful to our officers — Vice Chair Barbara MacFadden, Treasurer Bob Talbot, Secretary Alice Bettencourt — as well as the entire board and dozens of committee volunteers who help keep Palmetto Dunes operating as one of the top resorts in the Southeast. I also want to recognize and thank past Boards and administrative staff for creating the solid foundation and sound financial position from which we can continue to grow and evolve.
The Bylaws require an Annual Report to the Membership, and this year’s report marks a change from past versions. Inspired by similar resort communities and non-profit reports, it is more visually engaging and incorporates more data and statistics about our community. We are also transitioning the reporting period from January–December (delivered the following October) to a more timely July–June cycle. To make that shift, this report covers a longer span — from January 2024 through August 2025 — so that future reports can follow the new schedule.
When this term began in October 2024, we were in the midst of hiring our first new General Manager in 12 years. Co-chaired by Bob Talbot, the search led us to Bill Dix, who started December 2. Bill quickly built a strong management team, adding new talent to complement our experienced staff. His background with similar large communities has been invaluable.
A major focus this year was seeking competitive bids for services and projects, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. We updated our reserve study, ensuring funds are available for infrastructure needs and storm recovery. Hiring a Facilities Manager with IT expertise will save nearly $200,000 as we modernize outdated technology.
We also updated decades-old corporate documents to resolve inconsistencies — important but unglamorous work. Regular meetings with Greenwood executives Bubba Self and Brad Marra have produced ongoing improvements for our Members.
In keeping with our goal of making PD as friendly as possible while maintaining standards, we began issuing warnings for minor first offenses, reducing appeals to the Hearing Committee. We also pursued the 7 Lee Shore property project; while development proved too costly, it is now for sale, and proceeds will be added to reserves.
Finally, we are updating ARB guidelines with help from a national consultant, creating a more userfriendly set of rules that maintains quality.
Thank you to all the owners who offered input and support this year. Your commitment makes our work possible.
Respectfully,
Kurt Faires

General Manager's Report
It’s been an honor to serve as your General Manager since December 2, 2024. As I reflect on the first part of 2025, I’m proud to share the accomplishments we’ve achieved together. Our focus has been clear: fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and service, while ensuring the POA remains financially sound, operationally effective, and responsive to the needs of our Owners and Guests. I’m also mindful that our ability to move forward rests on the work of those who came before us — past Boards and staff whose leadership and careful planning established the strong financial footing and organizational stability we benefit from today.
A Shift in Culture: Transparency, Accountability, and Service
Over the course of 2025, we’ve worked to foster a more collaborative, understanding, and servicefocused approach to how we educate, communicate, and encourage compliance. This evolution has helped shift the tone from strict enforcement to partnership, while still maintaining the integrity of our community standards.
• Cooperation and Education: We’ve revised the fining policy and established improved compliance tracking using technology, and a cooperative approach to enforcement.
• Service-First Focus: Employees are empowered to resolve issues proactively, resulting in faster response times and greater satisfaction from residents and guests.
• Positive Community Engagement: We have implemented regular bike patrol and community education opportunities creating a regular, friendly presence on the pathways to answer questions, educate cyclists on safety rules, and engage visitors in a neighborly way.
• Transparency: We have initiated monthly “Ask the Staff” open forums. This provides all owners with an opportunity to interact with lead staff members and ask questions on policies, procedures, and ongoing initiatives, while also offering a platform for feedback, clarification, and open dialogue.
Operational Opportunities
• Corporate Restructure: We realigned responsibilities, selectively filled positions with new staff, and created a streamlined structure to ensure accountability and allow for more direct staff contributions.
• Technology Consolidation & Operational Review: We are making upgrades and changes to our technology and infrastructure, including licensing and platforms while combining or eliminating excess stand-alone products.
• Architectural and Construction Guidelines Re-Write: We launched a comprehensive review and rewrite of our ARB Design Guidelines with a qualified consultant, aimed at a more practical and understandable document.
• HR & Benefits Administration: Transitioning to a Professional Employers Organization (PEO) has resulted in more efficiently enhancing employee benefits while ensuring compliance with applicable regulations and reducing risk and expense for the POA.
• Operational Accountability: Committee fund requests now receive managerial review before Board submission.
• Policy Development: Creation and execution of new administrative policies including reckless pathway behavior, lagoon and lake water quality, email response and bike patrol.
• Governing Document Management: Working with the Board of Directors on the process for Bylaw amendments to modernize and clarify governance provisions.
Financial Health and Stewardship
• Strong Year-End Forecast: We are projected to come in under budget on several expense line items such as payroll, worker’s comp insurance, medical premiums, technology and capital projects.
• Reserve Study: A 30-year pavement assessment has been adopted and merged into our reserve study creating a solid infrastructure management strategy.
• Capital Planning: Execution on previously planned bridge maintenance and repair work will benefit the POA by avoiding a large capital expense in the near future for bridge replacement.
• Financial Oversight: In conjunction with the Finance Committee implemented policies for emergency line of credit use, CEF fund balance, reserve funding and distribution of excess funds policies.
• Procurement Oversight and Savings: Competitive bidding and enhanced vendor oversight helped reduce projected costs on insurance and contract capital and replacement work.
Looking Ahead
• Finalizing and adopting the updated Architectural Design Guidelines and application process.
• Continuing technology integration for internal operations and Owner services utilizing existing platforms and integrating new tools, such as artificial intelligence.
• Launching the updated Strategic Plan for 2026–2028, laying out the roadmap for Palmetto Dunes’ future needs, wants and success.
• Implementing streamlined governance policies and committee procedures with the focus on our residents.
• Advancing resident engagement and education through different communication platforms and opportunities to involve others, both residents and commercial partners.
• Commissioning a third party Reserve Specialist (RS) to complete an updated 30 year reserve study and funding plan to coordinate with the POA’s funding objectives.
Closing
In closing, thank you to our Board of Directors, our dedicated staff, and the many Owners who have engaged with me this first year. You have all made my transition to Palmetto Dunes POA a warm and welcoming one.
I feel that we’ve made tremendous strides in building a culture of transparency, accountability, and excellence—and I look forward to continuous improvements together.
Respectfully submitted,
Bill Dix General Manager Palmetto Dunes POA

Strategic Plan
In 2022, the PDPOA Board of Directors and Administration began the process of creating a new Strategic Plan to guide Palmetto Dunes over the next five years. With the previous plan nearing completion, it was an opportune time to reassess our mission, vision, and values, as well as the priorities of our community. In recent years, ownership within Palmetto Dunes has evolved significantly, bringing new perspectives, ideas, and opportunities. Recognizing these changes, the Board sought to create a plan that reflects both the history and future aspirations of our community.
A Strategic Planning Team, selected from a large pool of interested owners, worked alongside a professional facilitator to lead this effort. The team dedicated extensive time to meetings, research, and homework, ensuring the process was inclusive and well-informed. They developed and distributed a comprehensive community survey, administered by a local university, to better understand owners’ backgrounds, experiences, and priorities. Survey results, along with input from community engagement sessions and the Board, shaped the foundation of the plan. Four key focus areas emerged, each with two to three action items designed to guide future initiatives and decision-making.
Completed in 2023, the Strategic Plan is intended to be a living document—flexible enough to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. Progress will be monitored regularly, and adjustments will be made as needed to ensure alignment with community needs.
This collaborative effort reflects our shared commitment to preserving the unique character of Palmetto Dunes while positioning our community for continued success.
