The HPCO held its Third Annual Meeting on January 16, 2026, led by President Allan Potechin. With a quorum established, members reviewed organizational business, and looked ahead to another year of community impact.
The re-election of directors whose terms had expired at the end of 2025 was held during this meeting. The membership voted to retain Miriam Shook, Claire O’Regan, and Lou Bottitta for new two-year terms running through December 31, 2027. Dates were also announced for the HPCO annual dinner dance and golf outing; January 30, 2027 for the dance, and April 18, 2027 for the outing.
The organization appreciates the continued dedication of its Board members and looks forward to building on its mission of supporting Heritage Palms employees in need. Since HPCO began through 2025, generous support from our residents has allowed us to provide about $100,000 in assistance to HP employees facing extraordinary needs, in line with our mission.
ALLAN POTECHIN, AND BARBARA GREGG.
