Laura Plummer (Term 4/08-4/10) I am the current President of the Board of Trustees and am seeking your vote for re-election. This year, I will complete my 8th year serving on the Board. During my tenure, I have served one year as Treasurer and 4 years as your Board President. I am also the board liaison for the Association’s Events Committee and have worked very closely with the Budget and Finance committee this year to keep our assessments to a minimum without sacrificing our quality of life.

I believe I would continue to be a valuable asset as the community moves from a majority homeowner control to an all homeowner control this year.

I have worked with, and will continue to work with residents to address your concerns, implement solutions and enhance our community.

As we move ahead and celebrate the community’s 20th anniversary, I promise to work diligently to keep making improvements to our community, listen to the concerns of residents and strive towards keeping our community a wonderful and beautiful place to live. |
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 served as Events Committee chair
for three years and president during 2007. I continue to serve on the
HOA Events Committee and will remain active with the Ashburn Classics.
As far as qualifications for becoming
a BOT member, I have served as chairperson and founding member of the
Ashburn Farm Neighborhood Watch for the last 15 months. Having been a
committee chairperson, I have been in attendance to most BOT meetings
since that time. In addition, I was both a member and later president
of the Legacy Hills Homeowners Association in Plano, Texas before
moving to Virginia. Although a much smaller community than Ashburn
Farm, many of the issues and problems faced there are also faced by
our community. I will pledge that if elected to the BOT, I will be an
active member who listens to the community and supports their wishes
to ensure that Ashburn Farm remains a great place to live!
I have
resided with my wife Malinda and family in The Farm for over 15 years. I
was a the Vice Chairman of the Architectural Review Board and
Vice Chairman of the Open Committee. I am a tutor of mathematics for
seventh to 12th grade and college students.
I live in Ashburn Farm with my husband
and 2 daughters and have lived in the Farm for 12 years. I am a first
grade teacher at Cedar Lane Elementary. I believe that Ashburn Farm is
a great community and a wonderful place to live and raise kids.
I feel fortunate to be a part of this
community and an active member on the committees. We have accomplished a
tremendous amount of work and completed many projects over the course of
the 9 years that I have been involved. The people that serve on the
Committees and Boards are hard working volunteers and great individuals
to be around.
