FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2022 9 How long have you lived at Four Seasons and why did you move here? We started looking at 55+ resort living in 2006, and were so excited when we found Four Seasons here in Beaumont. The models were gorgeous and we knew that when we retired this would be the place to be. We are extremely active and wanted to live where we not only had fabulous amenities, but also nature and beauty. We moved in March 2009 and have never regretted moving from the hustle and bustle of city life to a serene and lovely small town. Position on the Board? (Work, community involvement, previous HOA experience) I retired from a large defense corporation negotiating large government defense contracts for the Department of the Army. My interpersonal skills (being adaptable, being able to set aside personal bias) played a large part in being able to negotiate government contracts. Prior to working for defense (24 years), I worked for the University of Southern California (USC) School of Medicine for 18 years in the Department of Nephrology, where I set up world-wide medical meetings and edited medical textbooks, including the Textbook of Nephrology, which is utilized in medical schools across the United States. What do you see as key issues facing our community? Communication is a key issue facing our community, from the standpoint of ensuring that (1) all material sent to residents is clearly written and can be easily understood by all, and (2) both management and the Board of Directors communicate transparently with residents. What is your vision for the future of Four Seasons Beaumont? Please include your policy on reserves. We are so fortunate to have a great Finance Committee that oversees our reserves and makes sure that we are at 100 percent. As a Board Member, I look at every expenditure and, being detail oriented, I try to also make sure that our reserves and expenditures are on course. My policy on reserves is that no matter what we have to do, keeping our reserves at 100 percent plus is of utmost importance. Do you have a final statement? I have enjoyed being on the Board of Directors the past two years, and feel that I have made a difference in making sure everyone in our community gets the respect they deserve; receives transparency from not only the Board of Directors but also our Management Team, which they also deserve; and enjoys spending their Golden Years in this beautiful, safe, clean, and fun environment, which EVERYONE deserves! GRACY LUNA, BOARD OF DIRECTOR CANDIDATE
