Greetings from the Maple Hills Homeowners’ Association Board. As HOA board members, we are neighbors and homeowners just like most of you and were recently selected to serve everyone in the association. We are dedicated to do all we can to help Maple Hills be an attractive, harmonious, and safe place for us all to live.
Board Meetings:
Monthly board meetings are newly scheduled for the Third Thursday of each month. They are held to address general community business and issues, which may include landscaping reports, new budgets, water usage summaries, and comparisons between current finances and the original budget, among other operational concerns. Please notify the board if you would like to attend any of the monthly board meetings. Homeowners will be notified in advance of other important meetings.
All homeowners are requested to attend the Annual Meeting normally held in November. Homeowners will be notified in advance.
Closed or executive meetings only include the board of directors and management company. The board can also choose to invite homeowners who require individual attention. These sessions may involve sensitive issues like receiving legal advice from an attorney, considering litigation, discussing sensitive information about members or contractors, as well as complaints, and discussing member appeals of violations or penalties.
Thomas Grissom
PRESIDENT
I want to start by thanking everyone who entrusted me with this position. I am grateful for the opportunity and love to be a part of building a foundation to what is already a great community. My wife Laura and I moved to the PNW 4 years ago looking for a community just like Maple Hills. We have a 7-year-old daughter, Isabel, and we were looking to find a great place for her to grow up just like we did.
My wife works in the Kent school district and I have been with Valley Medical Center for almost 3 years now. If you see me walking in the neighborhood or would like to reach out to me privately, I am all about communication and collaboration. I am willing to help anywhere that I am needed which includes making Maple Hills an inclusive and welcoming place for all of its homeowners.
I look forward to getting to know everyone in the neighborhood and make it a place other people envy.
Tammy Fierst Chan
ADMIN SECRETARY
My husband and I found Maple Hills through a friend of his from work at the city of Seattle. We came up to look at the homes and knew instantly we wanted to live here. Since then other people have moved here that also work with my husband, who is currently a Seattle Police Detective.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration & Accounting from Central Washington University. From there I took a Finance Internship with Boeing, and worked there for 13 years in Cost Mgmt. After that we had two girls who are now 21, and 18, and are attending College at the University of WA, and Green River respectively. While I was home with my kids I ran a business selling baby strollers online, for about 10 years.
Currently I work at a local Property Mgmt Company, and have been there for five years as their Accounting Specialist. I perform the Accounting duties for 98 Rentals. I provide year end 1099's and Cash Flows for each Property. I also do the Accounting and provide Monthly Financial Statements for the Property Mgmt Company itself.
At our previous Community HOA I was treasurer for eight years.
I am a very passionate and critical thinker. As a member of the HOA I believe every voice, every vote should be heard. It is our community that we love, and hold dear to after our family. We should all be able to vote on major Projects before passed, and our Dues. We should all participate and make our voices heard.
“We do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.” - Thomas Jefferson
