Board Elections

COME A’BOARD!

The Sea Pines POA holds Board Member elections every year so that our property owner members can choose who will represent you. Our board is comprised of 9 members. Each member is elected for a 3-year term. And each member may run for a second 3-year term if they wish. This rhythm of our board cycle means we elect 3 new board members every year. Our board is all volunteer and all are Sea Pines property owners.
