Allison Black

Community Member for Nine and a half years.

I am a current Board Member who has been re-elected twice. I have been Board Vice President in the past. I am very interested in being the Board President if re-elected for the upcoming term. I feel that everyone with an interest in being the Board President should be given the opportunity. In my opinion, being Board President will give me more education in Leadership, HOA's, Community Management, and even public speaking! I always strive to do a great job of listening to & representing the community, while making decisions based on the community as a whole. I would appreciate continuing to be a Board Member if re-elected.

Board Committee Experience: Yes, I am a current Board Member and the Board Liaison/Chair of the Design Review Committee.

In August 2023, a board of directors' seat became available due to a resignation. I applied and was selected to fill the open seat and have been actively serving since then. I would be honored to continue as a board member as I have learned so much, but I know there is so much more to learn and to accomplish. I encourage feedback from the community and work to address those issues in partnership with the JR BOD and CCMC to provide solutions. As a full-time resident, I share the same concerns and aspirations as all residents, including safety, beautification of our community, maintenance and upkeep, property value, fun events that we all enjoy and living in a community I am proud of. I am active in the community as I participate in the planned events, including Trivia Night, Holiday Market, pancake breakfasts, and food truck night, and I look forward to attending new events as well. Recently retired after a long career in business and management, I look forward to continued service as a Johnson Ranch Board of Director. Thank you for your consideration.

Board Committee Experience: As a Johnson Ranch resident, I served as Secretary of the Strategic Committee Planning team (SCP) for 2 years, then was elected to serve as Chair of the SCP. During my time on the committee, the SCP team worked closely with the board and CCMC to work with JR residents on new amenities that the residents expressed interest in. We invited residents to attend meetings as we provided information and answered questions about the amenities. All three amenities passed as residents had the opportunity to vote for what they would like to see move forward. I am also currently serving on the board of the STV Inc. 2024 team exploring San Tan Valley incorporation.

My name is Edith Witczak, and I have lived in Johnson Ranch for 5 months, coming from the West Valley. I have lived in Arizona all my life and have seen Tucson and Phoenix grow exponentially through the years. In the past, I have served on several committees that consist of Budget and Planning, coordinating events, emergency planning, and complex issues. I was head of a Leadership Training Program for 2 years and served on a Forward Thinking committee, which exposed me to working with others, hearing new ideas, and solving complex issues together for the best of the organization. I would like to get more involved in the community I live in, get to know the people, build relationships, solve issues of concern, serve those in our community, and contribute to making Johnson Ranch a better place to live. I am open-minded, optimistic, and cooperative, and I would love to help our community improve for the better! Together we can make it the place everyone can enjoy!

I was over the Leadership training program for the complex. I served on a Forward Thinking committee, which exposed me to new ideas for solving complex issues within the organization, discussions with others, making plans, and brainstorming.
