GOCC 2025 Officers and Chairs
It’s that time of year for GOCC Officer elections for 2025. As President Mike Stephens writes in the October edition of the Gazette, the current President, Vice President and Treasurer have volunteered to serve another term as officers. Having said that, if anyone is interested in throwing their name in the hat for one of those roles, please email secretary@gardenoaks.org. Speaking of secretary, that officer seat is open for 2025, and we’re looking for volunteers. Additionally, we’re looking for a new social events chairperson. Please contact any of the officers at their email addresses, listed below or on page 2 of Gazette, if you need more details about either of the roles.

The Purpose of GOCC is promoting the civic and social welfare of the residents of Garden Oaks, fostering neighborhood unity, and assisting in activities that benefit and promote the residential character of the neighborhood. GOCC is not the property owners’ association for Garden Oaks and has no deed restriction enforcement authority.
