OWNERS ASSOCIATION
2026 Annual Meeting & Election
Montclair, a vibrant community of thousands of families with diverse sizes and lifestyles, needs a Board of Directors that mirrors this diversity.
​
The upcoming Annual Meeting and Election (March 14, 2026) is a golden opportunity for candidates to step forward and represent their fellow Montclairions. We urge you to learn more about the role of the Board of Directors and contemplate running for one of the four At-Large Director positions for a three-year term.
As an At-Large Director you will be one of an eleven-member board: seven At-Large Directors and four Precinct Representatives. This year we will be electing four At-Large Directors.
As a Director, you will be taking on a crucial fiduciary role, a strategic role in developing and enforcing the association’s policies, and a role in meeting the community's current and future objectives.
As a newly elected Board member your first task is to participate in electing the officers of the non-stock corporation after the Annual Meeting. The officers consist of a President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. At that time, the board may also consider appointments to various committees and assign directors as board liaisons to those committees.

What's My Role
What Qualifications Do I Need
?
Candidates for the board must be association members in good standing, with no outstanding financial obligations to MPOA. Any special skills or experiences that could benefit the community are welcome. Experience with putting together budgets, managing or negotiating vendor contracts, or having a background in communications are all desirable but not limited to that skill set only.
​
Candidates' most important skills are a desire to improve Montclair and an interest in how the association is governed. We know a team with diversified skills and experience makes a well-rounded and effective board. So, submit your application for an At-Large Director position and put your skill set to work for Montclair.
The board holds regularly scheduled meetings on the second Wednesday of each month to address association business. Occasionally, additional special meetings may be needed to discuss critical, time-sensitive items.
Each board member serves on a quarterly rotation of various Board committees, which meet as needed. Board committees are further detailed in Section 3.3.4 of the Community Guidelines.
