Ken Hodor (SPC 231)
In the upcoming election, there are three kinds of people:
Those who know me—my integrity, skills, and consistent follow-through—and plan to vote for me.
Those who may have heard rumors or secondhand opinions and have already made up their minds.
Those who do not know me well but want to learn more before deciding.
For those in categories 1 or 2, there’s no need to read further. For those in category 3, thank you for keeping an open mind—I appreciate the opportunity to share my story and vision for our community.
After noticing how difficult it was for many seniors to hear clearly at meetings and see adequately under poor lighting, I worked with resident architect Bill Elder to design the upgraded lighting and acoustic ceiling for our large conference room. I presented the plan to both the PEERA Board and Haven Management, showing how it would dramatically improve speech clarity and visual comfort. Funding was approved, and the project completed successfully. Today, our conference room is one of the best-designed meeting spaces anywhere—bright, clear, and in high demand.
When COVID-19 halted in-person gatherings, I introduced Zoom meetings so the board could continue its work. The board created a Technical Committee Chair position for me, and I expanded access so all residents could participate. Meetings were recorded, uploaded to YouTube, and converted into transcripts and minutes—increasing transparency and keeping everyone informed.
Because we live in a senior, fixed-income community, I created a presentation called “Ideas Worth Sharing.” Each session helped residents discover money-saving or money-earning ideas, turning a short talk into a lively 90-minute exchange that left everyone better off.
I also organized a Southern California Investment Group of over 200 members and invited residents to join our free educational meetings. Many gained valuable insight and improved their financial security.
Our bylaws require monthly board meetings and at least four general meetings per year, yet previous boards did not always hold them. I believe residents deserve open, well-run meetings—conducted in our clubhouse, open to all, and guided by Robert’s Rules of Order to ensure fairness and decorum.
As Chair, I will act as a facilitator, not a ruler—someone who listens, encourages participation, and helps others contribute their talents. With 372 homes in our community, we have an incredible range of experience. By leveraging that collective strength, we can make our community more vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
I have never resigned from any PEERA term or responsibility. My commitment is steady, transparent, and community-centered. I will continue to lead with integrity, respect, and collaboration—bringing people together to make our community stronger for everyone.
Vote for proven commitment, constructive leadership, and community unity.
