POSITION: TREASURER NAME:
Paul Montelaro
My wife and I moved to Tara Woods in 2012, and I have been the TWHA Treasurer for the past two years. Prior to moving to Florida, I was the Treasurer for the Pacific Point Homeowners Association for two terms (four years). As you know, my 30-year banking career includes 18 years of regulatory service with both the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Texas Department of Banking, and 12 years of service in the private sector. As a result, I have gained considerable banking regulatory knowledge, as well as a sound understanding of corporate finance. With sound financial management and controls, the net equity position of the TWHA, including contingent liabilities, has been increased by 60 percent, from $14,000 to $22,500, during the last 18 months. Going forward, we will continue to emphasize sustained positive cash flow and equity growth. Thanks for your support!
