King's Deer Board of Directors & Staff
The King’s Deer Board of Directors is made up of volunteer homeowners who oversee the Association and help guide the community. Members serve two-year terms and are elected by the community.
Elections are staggered, with four directors elected in even-numbered years and three in odd-numbered years. If a vacancy occurs, the Board may appoint someone to complete the term. Elections are held each fall, with results announced at the Annual Membership Meeting, typically in November.
