As part of an anticipated turnover from Developer to Membership in 2027, he/she will work closely with the Board and Developer to ensure a smooth and seamless transition. The GM oversees both operations---Community and Club---and is expected to provide quality, engaged, highly interactive, and visible leadership, ensuring that members/residents enjoy the finest services, amenities, programming, and overall community ambiance and maintenance.

He/She will be helping to establish charters, processes, and appropriate involvement from volunteer leaders as this process evolves, requiring focused, diplomatic, and thoughtful partnering. The expectation and strong desire are to have the successfully selected General Manager seamlessly transition the property to Member ownership and continue to lead operations after doing so, including working with a more traditional Board of Directors at that point. Consequently, a consistent focus on balancing both entities’ expectations throughout the process is critical and why the Member Boards have been established to be involved in the transition.
