up-to-date list, including the recently closed sales. There are a handful of

My name is Joe Lightowler, and I have served the Board of Directors for Solera at Anthem for the past four years. I am seeking re-election on the Board of Directors. I have lived here with my wife, Joyce, since April of 2015. We moved here after retiring from northwestern Minnesota to be near one of our children and her family. I grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, and attended North Dakota State University. After spending four years in the U. S. Air Force during the Vietnam war as an electronic warfare technician, I worked in the life insurance business for over 44 years. By listening to you, the residents, these last four years, I was able to work with the Board to enhance our community despite the massive Covid19 epidemic. Both my wife and my self are fully vaccinated, and I continue to encourage residents to do the same. Over the last two years, we were able to accomplish the clean-up and renovation of our facilities. Some of these changes were made to head off the virus in our community, and, hopefully, more changes and improvements will come about as we see the improvements in the virus statistics. I am more than willing to sit down with anyone in the community to consider their concerns, complaints, and/or suggestions to make our community a better place to live. My email address can be found in the Solera Star. It has been my pleasure working with you the last two years, and I look forward to the opportunity to serve you for another two. I am a member in good standing and have no conflicts of interest with the Association. 8

Homeowners Association Experience
I served on the Board of Directors at my previous residence, Resort Villas on Warm Springs Road in
Henderson, prior to moving to Solera in July of 2020. As a member of the Board, I collaborated with
the Treasurer to initiate a Level 1 Reserve Study in order to assess the financial status of the
community. The study identified significant risk to the community because reserves had been
seriously underfunded and necessary maintenance had been deferred for years. Through rigorous
budget management and responsible funding of the reserve, we spearheaded the process of putting the
Association on a trajectory to a sound financial footing.
