LCPOA Board Candidate

Derek Williams LCPOA Candidate

I am a hardworking, lifelong Californian who comes from a family rich in

community service. My parents and grandparents set the groundwork for

me with the ideals of working hard, standing up for what is right, be honest,

be kind, and make a difference.

I have two degrees in Business Administration, a Bachelors and a Masters

degree. I have served in a management capacity in two large companies

prior to my 30-year law enforcement career. My skillset is diverse and

unique. My ability to

problem solve, and work with individuals in a multitude of environments,

gives me an advantage with a broad perspective and understanding of how

to work with people.

I have participated as a coach and mentor for youth sports and have been

very active in the lives of my children and grandchildren. Being involved

and present, being a role model, and showing compassion and

understanding while still maintaining integrity, is my motto.

My vision of La Cresta is to find the balance between maintaining the serine

tranquility of the existing community, while also pushing forward with new

ideas and programs as the community elects. La Cresta is rich in tradition

with the equine community, while also serving those who do not own

horses. It certainly can be equally beneficial for all.

I believe that. If elected my priorities are simple.

1) Return to a level of financial openness with the community leading to a

greater level of trust and confidence.

2) Instill a level of respect in the positions within the HOA, with those

serving on the board, committees and volunteers. Decision making will

become easier and more effective.

3)Accountability, for the HOA, members, community, and the property

management company.

4) Survey the community on a regular basis to verify a unified direction for

La Cresta and solicit active participation which leads to a more cohesive

mission.

5) Search out a similar community to partner with.

In closing, my life experience, coupled with my work experience, has given

me an extremely well-rounded perspective from which to make decisions. I

have successfully led and supervised many programs, groups, teams,

squads, from all facets of society, to accomplish whatever mission was

required. I have a tremendous support system, which keeps me grounded

and true. I will represent the position with pride.
