        committee and a brief description of its functions.

        COMMITTEE:  To monitor adherence to the
        architectural control guidelines and minimum
        standards of maintenance adopted by the BPCA, in

        COMMITTEE: The purpose of the committee is to
        advise and assist the Board of Directors of Boca Pointe

        and its properties.
           BUDGET & FINANCE COMMITTEE: The
        purpose of the committee is to assist the Treasurer’s

        Association.
           Volunteers play a very important role by participating
        on a committee; providing thoughtful input to
        deliberations; and focusing on the best interests of
        the BPCA while working toward accomplishing our
        goals. The BPCA could not be such a success without
        our great, dedicated volunteers.
           Service  as  a  committee  member  is  a  one-year
        term and it requires participation on monthly
        Zoom conference calls or in person meetings and
        collaborative involvement on projects that the
        committee mandates.
           If you would like to be considered for one of the
        committee positions in the upcoming year, please email
