ANNUAL MEETING JANUARY 24

Annual Meeting Time, Place, and Elections

BSW will elect three (3) Board Members at the Annual Meeting, held at 2 pm at City Church of San Antonio on January 24, 2026.

Election Procedures

How does BSW elect new board members and officers? It's a two-step process that takes place during our annual meeting. First, homeowners elect 3 new members to our board of directors. The three seats up for election are the seats currently held by John Siedo, our president, who is seeking re-election to the board and the position of president; Leslie Keitzman, our community involvement committee chair; and a third, vacant seat.

After new board members are elected, we hold a second election to select the board's executive positions. Only individuals currently serving on the board or newly elected to the board are eligible for executive officer positions on the board. This year, we will select three executive officers at the annual meeting. The first executive position on the ballot will be president (Jonnie McCart, a current board member, is running for president, and John Siedo has announced his intention to run for president if re-elected to the board). The second executive position on the ballot will be vice president. So far, only one candidate for the board has announced his intention to run for vice president if elected to the board: Rick Grosso. The final executive officer position on the ballot will be treasurer. So far, no candidates or returning officers have announced an intention to serve as treasurer if elected to the board.

Candidates for the Board and Leadership Positions

If you have the expertise to help manage a vibrant and active association, now is the time to give back to this great community. 

Stop by the office to find out more and submit your information for candidacy, or download the linked form, complete it, and email it along with the position you are running for to manager@braunstationwest.com. We need good people for a great community. Currently, we have a Treasurer who is running for President, and a Vice President who will be stepping down from his executive position. If you would like to announce your intention to run for President, Vice President, or Treasurer (especially if you have a background in finance or accounting), please indicate your willingness and qualifications to serve in one of those positions in your board application.

Proxies

If you can't attend the annual meeting, please consider filling out a proxy for a trusted neighbor to submit for you. Agents, please turn in your proxies to the office at 8630 Tezel by January 16th for verification. Your vote matters!

Volunteer Positions Open

Tellers wanted! One of the most important roles in the Annual Meeting is tallying the votes. If you would like to support the neighborhood by volunteering to be a vote teller, please contact manager@braunstationwest.com so we can put you in touch with the team.

Refreshments

We still need volunteers to provide refreshments at our Annual Meeting! If you would like to bring something, please sign up here.
