The Compass periodically highlights recaps from recent Cameron Station Community Association Board of Directors (the “Board”) meetings. The Board generally meets on the last Tuesday of every month.
Meetings are open to the community to attend and observe, either in person in the Cameron Club or virtually via Zoom. Each meeting includes a Homeowners Forum which is held early in the session and provides any homeowner three minutes to address the Board directly.
Highlights from the May 19, 2026, Board meeting are below. The Board Packet may be found HERE. Remember, for official records, head over to our association website HERE where you can find detailed meeting minutes from every Board and Committee meeting.
