HSV POA Board Candidacy Resume

Charlie Brown

I am running for the Hot Springs Village Board of Directors in order to further serve the community. I offer a unique perspective to the board and residents, as my wife and I have been residents since 2014, having two daughters graduated from Jessieville High, our son having served as a Village Police Officer, and me serving as a POA employee for over eight years.

My village service began as a seasonal employee as one of the first two staff activating the Beach Patrol, correcting long standing abuses of amenities and gate operations. I then accepted promotions to better address these issues via review, correction and operation of our governing documents. As a member of the POA team, I created recreation programs and was the project manager for recreation construction, improvements, and sustainment. Each project was delivered on schedule and under budget. Additionally, I was instrumental in negotiating gate security, cell towers, and the food and beverage contracts, resulting in reduced subsidies of $700,000.00 annually from our assessments. In 2020, I was charged with activating the Code Enforcement Department to include Compliance, Permitting & Inspections, Contract Oversight and Animal Control. In this role, I successfully amended portions of Protective Covenants and security policy, further enhancing the security and property standards residents desire.

Working closely with Cooper Communities Incorporated (CCI) during my tenure, I played a significant role in obtaining properties from CCI that benefit our community, including the purchase of the Cedar Creek Trail property at a substantially discounted price. I left POA service in December 2023

I have over 28 years of federal service, beginning as a US Coast Guardsman conducting search and rescue, and maritime law enforcement. I then began a twenty-three-year career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, starting as a Corrections Officer and quickly promoting to special duty with the US Marshals Service’s Airlift Division responsible for the legal verification and transport of 100,000+ prisoners annually. I later assisted the U.S. Courts System, Immigration, and US Marshals in prisoner classifications and designations. I later promoted to community corrections, where I was responsible for eighteen detention facilities in two states and more than 100 million dollars of detention and jail contracts. I have an associates degree in Pastoral Theology.

I served as HOA President in Mansfield, Texas. There I instituted positive changes to the Protective Covenants and regulatory documents, revising our management company’s procedures for enforcement. These changes proved successful, as measured by community growth and a decline in home sales.

As a board member I will start with an extensive, hands-on knowledge of our governing documents, having worked with them on a daily basis in a practical, solution-driven process. I will be a champion of fiscal transparency and impress upon my board colleagues, staff, and committee teammates the necessity for a long term community strategy for development economic impacts as well as the physical security that residents require in return for their investment.

I respectfully seek your support and vote.

Tammara Capps

Tammie and husband became residents of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas on March 2021. After a few short months they fell in love with the village and decided to leave their lifelong home in Kansas and make HSV their primary residence.

Tammie and Greg Capps have 5 children, 9 grandchildren and two dogs.

Mrs. Capps is a graduate from the University of Kansas, Management certificate from the University of Southern California in pharmaco-economics, NBC Anchor Academy graduate as well as other medical training from various institutions.

Tammie spent most of her career as an executive in the medical industry specializing in cardiovascular diseases/oncology/mental health/diabetes, she also held roles as a patient advocate, health policy analysist, external affairs, regulatory federal and state affairs, marketing and other roles. After her retirement Tammie decided to teach in an underserved area of Kansas where she taught special education, title reading/math, and was a librarian.

She also owned and operated: a catering and event planning company, design, staging, and property investment company, marketing and health care consulting company.

As a child, Tammie’s family believed in the value of volunteerism in her community. Her grandfather and uncle served in the legislature and her parents were presidential advisors.

Tammie has enjoyed volunteering at her church, served on various state committees on regulation/legislation, participation in fundraising for a children’s shelter, and assisted with junior golf programs.

Tammie’s belief is that the Board has many opportunities to ensure that the community has a strong business plan, offers each resident a voice on issues that matter, dependable leadership that can think strategically, make difficult decisions for the good of the community and that are willing to think out of the box. Transparency, trust and integrity are the cornerstones of leadership. HSV has been successful in creating a community that is truly unique and inviting. With Mrs Capps background in marketing, collaborative practices, and advocacy she would like to be a part of a successful leadership team that helps HSV be the best community of it’s kind in the country.

Bruce Caverly

BRUCE CAVERLY
Your Candidate for HSV’s POA Board

Good afternoon friends and neighbors, I am Bruce Caverly, and I am asking for your support for my re-election to the Hot Springs Village POA Board of Directors.

I was born and raised in New England, a Connecticut Yankee. After college, I joined the United States Air Force in 1962 and wound up in Anchorage, Alaska and discharged in 1966.

My business career began with Minnesota-based 3M Company where I began as a Sales Representative covering the entire state of Alaska. In 1983, I was promoted to International Business Development Manager and transferred to 3M’s home office in St. Paul, Minnesota.

My responsibility was to build one of 3M’s key business units in its international subsidiary operations. Through extensive travel to forty-eight countries in Asia, Canada, Europe and Latin America, my charge was to identify and staff new business opportunities world-wide. That included marketing, sales, sales training oversight, business plan development, and Profit & Loss management with our subsidiary staff and management.

Shortly after retiring at the end of 2000, we moved to HSV in 2001. I joined the POA’s Natural Resources Committee (later to become the Common Property, Forestry and Wildlife Committee) and continuously served on that Committee (including terms as Vice Chair and Chair) from 2002 through the summer of 2021.

Throughout my 24 years in the Village, I have also served on numerous POA committees; helped lead the Friends of HSV; presented program proposals to the Board and POA Staff; and routinely attended almost all POA board meetings. That exposure gave me first-hand knowledge of HSV’s governing documents, our Declarations, and our budgeting processes and operations.

Here are a couple of my other key HSV involvements:

• l2-year Forest Management Plan with a return of l.2MM$ to HSV
• Wildlife Management Programs & Hunters feeding the hungry
• Mercy St. Joseph Hospital Advisory Committee
• HSV Emergency Preparedness Committee
• HSV Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (past Treasurer 9 years),
• Member of Sons on the American Revolution Society

I decided to run for a second 3-year term on the POA Board due to my passion for HSV, and desire to ensure that the POA Board is staffed with individuals who are dedicated to positive, budget smart, constructive fact-based decision-making as HSV movss into its next decade. I have no personal agenda and remain convinced that our gated community is truly a ‘hidden gem’ with a bright future.

I am pleased to report that over the last 3 years serving on this Board, we have honored our commitment to our membership by spending our increased assessment dollars only on neglected infrastructure improvements as originally promised. We have fixed, painted and polished much of the deferred maintenance items such as road, collapsing culverts, our sewer and water plant distribution systems. There is more to do, including recovery from our recent tornado damage. I would like to be part of completing our commitment to fix what Cooper Communities left us while maintaining our commitment to transparency.

Wayne Crump

My name is Wayne Crump. My Wife Valarie and I moved to HSV on June 2023 and reside on Lake DeSoto. After researching and looking at different states and properties, we chose HSV to make our home. I enjoy fishing, boating, and vintage automobiles.

My educational background includes graduating with a BS Degree from the University of Wisconsin – Superior in 1996 and obtaining a Masters Degree from Mt. Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 2016.

My lifetime career history includes being a Staff Buyer for a Fortune 500 Company, of which I was responsible for negotiating contracts, obtaining costs reports and analysis, ensuring the timely delivery of all items purchased to keep the factory running. I also implemented a costs savings program to reduce our operational costs, thereby increasing profits.

I have also been a proprietor in the housing sector, where I purchased an apartment building and a struggling mobile home park, turning those endeavors around to become profitable. Prior to retirement, we sold those properties.

In the public sector, I held positions in various local agencies, including Zoning Administrator. I am a retired Police Chief, which gave me great experience in budgeting, personnel management, legal insight, civil liability, etc. I became proficient in grant writing, as well as writing ordinances that would later become law for the City. During this time it gave me the opportunity to work closely with our County and City Attorney. One of the implementations I am most proud of was working with the Defense Logistics Agency with the LESO Program where I was able to secure equipment such as vehicles, and weapons. I ultimately was able to assist other agencies introducing them to the program.

I am currently on the Lakes Committee. As a member, part of my duties are taking water levels, temperatures and clarity of the lake. This position has offered me great insight as to how the lakes are managed. The Staff and fellow Volunteers associated with the Lakes Committee have been very helpful, sharing their expertise and knowledge. I have a new appreciation for them and look forward to a long relationship with them.

My goals for being on the Board of Directors includes making their actions more transparent to you, the property owners. After all, the POA is the Property Owners Association, and that association is us – you- every property owner. You will find that I think “outside the box” to find answers to make our Community more secure, and profitable. I am a fiscal conservative and believer in operating HSV finances as my own. I do not like wasting funds.

You will find that I am very straightforward, and if I do not know the answer to something, I will find it. It’s my goal to work with the Board in bringing solutions that will most benefit the HSV community. You are the ones that can put me on the Board of Directors, and I value your input. I would appreciate your vote in the upcoming election.

Peter Kirk Denger

Hello, my name is Peter Kirk Denger. My current POA/community involvement is campaigning to represent all HSV property owners, particularly those on fixed incomes like myself, focusing on lot owners whose concerns have often been overlooked. I am a resident property owner and lot owner in Hot Springs Village. I purchased my first lot in 1979, one in 1991, one in 1995, one in 2001 and another one surrounding Balboa Beach in 2022. With a high school education, I have been employed in the home-building industry in HSV for over 40 years and advocate for preserving the values of our Village heritage. All property owners have a right to a fair vote on how our community is governed.

With annual assessments of $600 on lots assessed at $2000, owners see no return on their investment after a few short years. Continuous assessment increases and the legal liabilities of skyrocketing schemed-up fees have driven one-third of property owners to abandon their lots, resulting in constant financial losses for our Village. This trend harms all property owners and undermines the economic stability of our community. The solution is adopting a multi-tiered structure based on property values. Assessments resonating with the existing work of county assessors can reduce financial burdens for most property owners. This lowers costs for lot owners and encourages retention, creating a broader and more stable revenue base for HSV. The purpose of the POA is to serve property owners by maintaining our natural common properties, amenities, and infrastructure—not to profit from them. All profits should be returned to property owners through refunds.

The POA’s use of lots in arrears with unclear titles that are not paying assessments as votes to achieve quorums raises concerns about fairness in representation. I advocate for greater transparency in managing these lots for their use to be in all property owners’ best interests. I challenge practices that undermine property owners’ rights. Changes to our Protective Covenants enshrined in our Declaration word for word, further restricting our property rights, can only be decided by the consent of a two-thirds majority of property owners, as stated in our Declarations, through a transparent voting process. Investing in a vibrant, well-managed community with long term potential should be an opportunity. Together, we can achieve this vision that all property owners see the value and benefit of their investment. I am committed to guiding the direction of the POA in a way that raises property values, not assessments, and upholds the principles that make a fairer, more equitable future for Hot Springs Village.

I campaign to guide the POA’s direction in embracing HSV’s heritage, which created the prosperity we have always enjoyed. HSV is the natural premier active lifestyle community with a quality of life everyone wants to live in. As we celebrate the 55th Anniversary of Our Community in 2025, we are on the course many of us moved here to be part of and to preserve for future generations.

Mark Quinton

MARK QUINTON
2023-2024 BOARD DIRECTOR
YOUR 2025 CANDIDATE FOR THE
HSV PROPERTY OWNERS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Hot Springs Village has been my home since 2018, when I relocated from Louisiana. Although my wife and I have experienced 7 different states and 8 moves from promotions, Arkansas and HSV tops them all.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in Kinesiology (Exercise Movement). Those credentials carried me through a 20+ year career as a sales, marketing and training professional in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, reaching a National Director role with AstraZeneca, responsible for upwards of 2,000 employees.

I also honed my management and leadership skills as the Chief Executive Officer of a Collections Services Bureau, and as the owner of my own commercial hockey arena. Those 6 years as a business owner were particularly meaningful, acquiring skills in business plan development, the art of securing individual and corporate investors, and financing and constructing a $2M facility. During this time, I volunteered in the community as the Better Business Bureau President, United Way Chairman, and Rotary member and Chamber member.

Even more important in my candidacy for a seat on the POA Board, is my exposure to the wants and needs of Hot Springs Village. In May 2023, I was appointed to the HSV Board of Directors for a one year term and elected to a one-year term in 2024 that I am currently serving and have immersed myself in all aspects of the governance of the Village. I am currently the Board of Directors liaison for the Community Development (Communications Committee).

In 2024, I brought the Archery Senior Olympics to the Village, and I am actively working on bringing several Senior Olympic events here in 2025. More recently, I served on HSV’s AdHoc Land Committee, evaluating Cooper Communities land holdings, and their potential impact on HSV. I am also on the planning committee for the 2024 Urban Hunt and played a key role in bringing HSV’s Archery Range into operation.

I am currently serving on the Board of Directors since May 2023 and have learned a lot about what we can do to continue to be a better place to live by being fiscally responsible and updating our infrastructure. As a board member, I have been developing General Manager goals to increase revenue through marketing and reducing the golf deficit to zero over the next few years. We have also brought the neglected infrastructure back to where we see a seven-year plan to keep what we have up to date. My unique blend of creativity, analytical skills, and directness with diplomacy have allowed me to resolve issues thought to be insurmountable. With no personal agenda, I am prepared to continue to commit my time and talent to representing all HSV’s property owners by addressing the challenges ahead to preserve what we have for generations to come. I am respectfully asking for your vote.

I truly care for the Village and the lifestyle living here affords the residents and hope to be a common-sense representative for the Property Owners.

Evert Uldrich

My name is Evert Uldrich. I have visited the Village several times over the past several years, as my son and his family lives here. I moved here in June and bought a house in August. I am a Civil Engineer by training and am fascinated by the engineering features here in the Village.

I have three degrees in Civil Engineering, the first two from the University of Kansas. During my first four years at KU, I worked for the U. S. Corps of Engineers on the Oahe Dam Project. I was on a land surveying team, a Portland Cement concrete laboratory team, and a construction inspection team, After graduation, I worked as a design engineer for General Dynamics/Astronautics on their Atlas Missile “D “ Program, Then I was called to active duty with the U. S. Army. At Ft. Sill, OK, I functioned as a Public Health Engineer. There, I had 7 enlisted men on my team. We did food service inspections, issued health permits, did hearing inspections, did domestic water bacteriolytic tests, inspected swimming pools, and occasionally looked at the water treatment plant and the wastewater plant. Next, I went to work for Lehigh Structural Steel designing/analyzing steel transmission towers. That is when I became a registered Professional Engineer. Then I returned to KU for a master’s degree. I then interviewed with Phillips Petroleum. They sent me to Idaho to work in their Nuclear Division. I did stress analysis of many nuclear power plant components. At that point I went to the University of Idaho and earned a Doctor of Philosophy Degree. While at the U of I, I taught classes in Engineering Mechanics and a structural mechanics laboratory, I then returned to SE Idaho and did very sophisticated analyses of nuclear test reactor components. This involved very high pressures and temperatures. During this time I became a Registered Professional Engine with Structural enhancement. This meant I could do structural analysis of structures for seismic and/or wind loads. I retired from the nuclear industry in 2001.

Prior to my years at Lehigh, I was a very avid water skier. In 1967 when I mover to Idaho, I became a very avid downhill snow skier. I was an official at the 2002 Winter Olympics at Snowbasin.

I am relatively new to the Village and so I view this opportunity to familiarize myself with the Village and satisfy my Civil Engineering curiosity Also it will be an opportunity to meet other residents.
