Board of Directors — Maple Hills HOA

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 second 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.

Jolene Bleistein

ADMIN SECRETARY

I am an Executive Assistant at Zillow where I have been for the last 10 years, currently supporting the Chief People Officer. My role has honed my skills in project management and organization, enabling me to effectively navigate and streamline complex tasks.

Having served on the Board of Directors for a previous HOA, I have an understanding of the intricacies involved in community leadership. My goal is to create a harmonious community environment, where the individual needs of homeowners are balanced with the collective interests of the neighborhood. My approach is rooted in open communication, equitable policies, and a deep commitment to ensuring every resident feels valued and heard with mutual respect.

On a personal note, I am rooted in family life with my husband of 13 years, Steve, our 2-year-old daughter, Emme, and my mother-in-law, Bernie. Prior to moving to Maple Hills in 2019, Steve and I lived in Kent East Hill for 10 years.

As part of the Maple Hills Board of Directors, my mission is to use my professional acumen and personal insights to help create a vibrant, inclusive, and well-managed community where everyone can thrive.
