​Sun City West Owner Members who want to make a difference in their community are encouraged to run for the Governing Board. Candidate packets will be available beginning Monday, Nov. 3.

The Recreation Centers of Sun City West Governing Board is comprised of nine residents who serve as the volunteer governing body in our community. The Board sets the policies under which our Association operates.

Usually, three new members are elected to replace the outgoing volunteer directors who have completed their three-year terms. At this time, the upcoming election also will have a one-year term to fill due to an earlier resignation. The highest three vote-getters will fill the three-year terms, and the fourth-place finisher will fill the one-year term. Terms begin July 1, 2026.

Any resident Owner Member in good standing who is available on a year-round basis for participation in the Association’s business affairs, may become a candidate for election to the Governing Board.

Owner Members may pick up packets between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays in the R.H. Johnson Recreation Center Administrative Offices (Building G3), 19803 R.H. Johnson Blvd. A webpage detailing all election deadlines and dates, including scheduled candidate forums, can be found at suncitywest.com/2026election. Additionally, video messages from current President Christine Novello and Directors Jolene Piaskowski and Nick Turner, explaining why Owner Members should consider running for the Board, will be available on the webpage soon.

Candidate packets must be returned to the Governing Board Executive Assistant by 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 2. For more information, call Executive Assistant Karen Roepken at 623-544-6115.
