The Executive Board of Directors consists of the following homeowners:

                  * Officers of the Board

The BEPOA Board of Directors are volunteer homeowners who assist fellow homeowners in Bradford Estates to follow the Association's Declaration, Bylaws, and Policies that govern our planned development and have authority granted to them in the BEPOA Declaration and PA Title 68, Chapters 51 through 55 (subparts D & E) - Uniform Planned Community Act. The first original owner-managed Board was elected on 8/29/2007.

Elections for open Board positions are held at the Annual Owner's Meeting in June. Board members serve 3-year terms. Please review the Eligibility Policy at the bottom of the Documents page and contact any Board member with questions regarding how to apply. A full, active, volunteer, and service-oriented homeowner Board keeps yearly assessment fees stable, along with essential oversight of the Association's overall business obligations, contracted services, and financials, and helps maintain our community's property values through consistent enforcement of Association policies and Covens Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R's).

If you are interested in volunteering in a less committed role than being a Board member, please consider joining a committee in the area that interests you.

​Committees support the Board by working on issues being addressed to improve our community. Committees provide essential input on decisions that need to be made by the Board. Please email any Board member or a committee Chair to get information on how to join a committee.
