My
name is Peggy Chapman and I reside on Hay Road in Ashburn with my
spouse, Lee. I am completing my first term on the Ashburn Farm
Homeowners Association (HOA) Board of Trustees this year. During
2008, I acted as liaison to the Parking Committee, and in 2009, I
acted as liaison to the Events Committee. After serving on the HOA
Board, I realize how much work, time, and effort are required of
many citizens and HOA staff in order for Ashburn Farm to remain a
community in which people enjoy living, working, and playing. I
would like to continue working with others who have a vision and
common interests in the future of Ashburn Farm.
My husband
and I moved from North Carolina to Ashburn ten years ago to be near
our family. I was a marketing writer with AT&T before taking early
retirement. Following retirement from AT&T, I worked with United
Way, the American Red Cross, and the North Carolina Baptist
Hospital. Presently, I am employed by Nova Medical Group and Urgent
Care Center, Ashburn.
After moving to Ashburn, I wanted to
get to know other retirees in the community. I started attending the
HOA Events Committee meetings and expressed my interest in forming
an organization for seniors. The HOA management was fully supportive
of assisting in organizing a senior’s club, which was organized in
2003 and named the Ashburn Classics. I have served as chairperson
for the Events and Membership committees and President for the club.

My
family and I have been residents of Ashburn Farm for 10 years. We
were drawn to this area by the schools, walking trails, and
recreational facilities. I still remember driving through the
neighborhoods and seeing all the people out and about interacting
with their friends. This was the place we wanted to plant roots and
raise our family.
I am a Sr. Director with a multi-national
telecommunications company. I’ve designed, planned, and operated
networks domestically and abroad working with billion dollar
budgets, large staffs, and demanding customers. Professionally, I’m
known for improving efficiency and quality of organizations and
services they provide. Personally, I’ve been involved in scouting
(Cubmaster for Pack 1154), coaching (we didn’t win too many games,
but had lots of fun), and first husband (my wife was PTA president…
that counts doesn’t it?). Most recently I’ve been working with
Ashburn Farm Parents United concerning school boundaries and new
school placement.
Great communities like ours don’t just
happen, you have to work at it. A vision for the future needs to be
established, recognition of where we are needs to take place, and a
plan needs to be developed to get us from here to there. I would
like to bring my experience to the BOT and to the community. Thank
you for your consideration.

Please
don't throw away your ballots this year! Your vote will absolutely
make a difference in how Ashburn Farm operates.
Our family has lived in Ashburn Farm since 2004 and we have been
active in the community as volunteers and participants in every event
we can squeeze into our schedule. Some of you may know me from when I
wrote the Living in LoCo column(http://loudounextra.washingtonpost.com/blogs/living-loco/2007/nov/30/so-long-loco-readers/)
for the Washington Post and delved into the issues that affect our
community every day. That was also when I learned what a significant
difference the board members make in all the homeowners' associations
throughout Loudoun.
I am running for a board position this year because I know that
residents are often too busy to keep up with the myriad of issues and
I want to be able to represent the interests of those who moved to
Ashburn Farm for the community and quality of life that provides such
a great value to all of us.
I have more than 16 years of professional work experience and am
currently Vice President of Editorial at Publish2, Inc. A former
college athlete and high school coach, I am passionate about sports,
especially lacrosse, and enjoy hitting the trails and parks with my
husband, Brian, and our two children, who attend Cedar Lane
Elementary.
Thank you for your support. I look forward to the opportunity to serve
you on the Ashburn Farm Board of Trustees.

Great
amenities, community schools, relative affordability and friendly
neighbors, this is what attracted my family to Ashburn Farm in 2004.
As a father of three school-age children, I seek to bring a fresh
perspective to our HOA leadership team. I want to serve on our Board
of Trustees to represent and champion the interests of our families.
Most of my life has
been spent serving and representing the needs of others. I served as a
Peace Corps Volunteer right out of college and managed a program at
Peace Corps headquarters upon my return. While a resident of
Arlington, I served on the Neighborhood Conservation Advisory
Committee to help advise the county on public funding for community
projects. I currently work as Executive Director of a private
foundation, administering an annual budget of $5-$10 million to fund
charitable grassroots initiatives worldwide. I am also actively
advocating for our community in the school boundary process through
Ashburn Farm Parents United. Serving and representing the interests of
our community is something I care passionately about.
It takes a lot of
work to keep our neighborhood a great place to live and raise a
family, as well as insure that the needs and interests of Ashburn Farm
are heard within our county. We need energy and vision within our HOA
to make that happen. I am willing and eager to serve our community in
this way, but need your support to do it.

My
name is Tim Hughes and I ask for your vote for HOA trustee. My wife and
I moved here with our three boys to Ashburn Farm in 2006. My impression
of Ashburn is a community that has a passion for excellence and high
standards for quality of life. I’m excited to be part of this community
and want to commit my energy and focus to the betterment of Ashburn
Farm.
I have more than 20 years of professional experience in
various sales representation capacities, both as individual contributor
as well as in mid and upper management roles. I currently work for Canon
and my experience in working with Fortune 500 companies in Northern VA
has taught me how to deal with varying personalities, as well as how to
build consensus, and my results have demonstrated a consistent ability
to get the job done.
In my personal life, I am married to a
wonderful working mom and we’re active in the life of our church. I am
also busily involved in the school activities of my three sons, ages 11,
9, and 7. This also has me supporting both Cub and Boy Scout activities,
coaching hockey teams at the Ashburn Ice House, and even advocating for
my kids and community through Ashburn Farm Parents United.
I
love Ashburn Farm and I appreciate your vote and being given an
opportunity to help make it an even better place to live through a
leadership role in your Homeowners Association.
