Board of Directors
Board and committee members are volunteers who do not receive pay for their services. They are neighbors just like you. They donate their personal time to answer questions, provide information, organize projects and events, and help keep our neighborhood looking nice and running smoothly. They also review and approve construction plans, manage neighborhood social media accounts, maintain/improve horse trails and entrance monuments, monitor legislators for their interest in (and support of) Lynn Ranch, propose plans for neighborhood improvement, and plan special events throughout the year.
