Encore homeowners belong to two Homeowners Associations: the Briar Chapel HOA and the Encore HOA. Residents are entitled to attend and observe both board meetings, to vote in both board elections, and volunteer for Board work and committee assignments.
Each HOA has a different board and committees. Who does what? Let’s try to sort it out on this page.

Kuester’s on-site employee is our Community Manager, Gloria Mock.
The Encore HOA Board meets monthly. Board members’ contact information is available in the password-protected Resident Directory. Encore covenants are here; bylaws are here; and Board and committee meeting minutes are here.
