A key purpose of the annual meeting is to elect new board members.  This year we have four positions available, with varying terms of 2 to 3 years.  Board members are elected as directors based on your voting.  The new board then votes in executive session for individual positions.

​​

Goals - How I feel I can contribute to the community: Having moved several times throughout my career, I understand that a neighborhood is more than just a place to live; it’s a community where families should live together and thrive.

I want to bring my knowledge, skills, and attributes to the HOA to benefit the residents.

Robby Schoerner

Qualifications & Experience: Current sitting PCSA Vice President and Chairperson of the Grounds Committee. I oversaw and coordinated multiple large scale community maintenance projects over the past 2+ years working with the BOD, JCC government officials, and local contractors. I am a handyman by nature which allowed me to complete countless community maintenance actions on my own, bypassing costly contractor repairs and saving community dollars. I am a military retiree of 25 years and continue to work part-time as a helicopter EMS pilot for a local hospital system as a second career.

​

Goals - How I feel I can contribute to the community: I seek to fulfill another 3-year term to complete necessary grounds related contractual updates and address continued community maintenance issues. I have become very knowledgeable of the community assets in need of care and would like to use that knowledge to continue to address the needs of the community in the most cost-efficient manner possible.

​

Interests: I am an avid trail hiker with my two dogs and I enjoy outdoor activities in general. A home DIY’er, I have completed many upgrades and renovations to my residence. Married to my wife of 34 years, we have two adult children who live locally and we intend to keep the Powhatan Secondary community as our forever home.

I have served on the Richmond Ski Club Board of Directors, the Longwood College of Business and Economics Alumni Advisory Board, and the Board of Directors for First Night Williamsburg. I have been President of Web Development Technology Partners Inc., for 28 years.

​

Goals - How I feel I can contribute to the community: My interest in serving on the Powhatan Secondary Board is a desire to create a conservative budget that reduces the need for a regular yearly increase in annual homeowner dues. I also want to make
sure that each homeowner is aware of the Covenants and Declarations as they have been amended.  Having built websites for other HOA’s including East Beach Norfolk, Greensprings Plantation, and The Villages at West Neck, I would be interested in Powhatan Secondary having a more robust online presence that makes it easy for all neighbors to get up-to-date information. This would allow the Board of Directors to make updates and keep track of documents relevant to all functions of the HOA.

​

Interests: 

• Representing the neighborhood at meetings of the School Board during redistricting, Planning Commission and Board of Supervisor meetings

• Reducing expenses to maximize use of homeowner dues while maintaining property values

• Creating an easy-to-use neighborhood web site to streamline information
