HRCA Elections quickly approaching Highlands Ranch has all the amenities of a town, but its governance is completely unique. Highlands Ranch is a master-planned community, with HRCA providing community leadership, first-class recreational facilities, events, architectural control, and covenant enforcement. HRCA also owns and manages the Backcountry Wilderness Area. The community’s municipal services, parks, and trails are handled by Highlands Ranch Metro District, while water and sanitation services are through Centennial Water and Sanitation District. HRCA is governed by a five-member board who are elected by our community's District Delegates. Delegates make recommendations to the Board of Directors on various matters outlined in the Community Declaration. The Board of Directors, serving two-year staggered terms sets policy for the Association. Your Delegate is your voice for neighborhood and Association matters. Delegates meet monthly and make recommendations to the Board of Directors on important matters that impact our community. HRCA’s annual elections for Directors and District Delegates are approaching. Three Board of Director's positions will be elected by District Delegates on March 20 at the Annual Meeting of Delegates. Delegates are elected by their district constituents in April. Watch your mail in March as your ballot will be coming and your input is important. For more on delegates, board, and elections, visit www.HRCAonline.org/Leadership. Please email annie.vincent@hrcaonline.org by March 12 if you are interested in running for District Delegate, or visit www.HRCAonline.org/Elections. Find your delegate by accessing the District Delegate map at www.HRCAonline.org/DistrictMap.
finance technology upgrade HRCA is excited to announce the launch of our new accounting software, NetSuite!
