Community/Board Meetings are held monthly, on the third Tuesday of the month, at 9:30am at the Gathering Place. We encourage residents to attend the monthly meetings to learn more about the community and share their input. The Agenda and the Committee, Finance, and Management Reports are distributed monthly by email ahead of the meeting, and the meeting minutes are distributed monthly by email afterwards.
For questions, concerns, or requests, contact the board via our property manager at:
questions@countryhousehoa.org or 919-448-5150

Committee Terminology
Standing Committee — These are committees that are designated in the by-laws to provide oversight and address ongoing responsibilities and concerns of the community.
Ad-hoc Committee — These are the committees that are initiated by the board to address particular situations or needs or perform a special function. The board develops the mission for an ad-hoc committee. The committee develops, or oversees experts who develop, the scope, schedule, estimated budget, implementation plan, request for proposals, and recommendations to the board for the project’s installation.
Chairperson — Appointed by the board president with approval of the board, leads the committee, submits monthly reports for Countryhouse members to read, works with the Property Manager (Mill House), communicates with the board, seeks expertise as needed, and manages committee membership.
Board Liaison — This is a Board member who is also a committee member who provides updates to the board and facilitates needs between the two groups.
Ex-Officio — The president of the board is a member ex-officio (automatically included) on all committees.

Some examples of things that a close rep might do:
- Identify common area needs and assistance in reporting to Mill House. For example: dying tree, drainage issues, asphalt potholes.
- Follow-up with neighbors to check if a vendor completed work as requested, such as bricks on the walkway still popping up, roof gutters visibly clogged. Reps are not responsible for accuracy or completion, but offer residents another way to communicate with the Board.
- Assist a neighbor with contacting Mill House property manager or using the software, AppFolio.
