Directors:
1. Bill Medved

Detailed information about each candidate's qualifications and goals is available online. Please visit our Election page to learn more.

Reminder: Following the 2024 amendment to the Canyon Lake POA Bylaws, Board Member terms have been extended to four years, with elections scheduled biennially. To align with this new schedule, three Board Members elected in 2025 will serve a three-year term. Starting in 2026, the terms will be four years.

March Member of the Month

The March Member of the Month is Michael Shroyer. Mike has been involved in the community for nearly 30 years since arriving in Canyon Lake — so much so, he is known as DJ Mike for all the events he has deejayed. Many of Canyon Lake's traditions over the last few decades can be traced back to him, from park and pool movie nights to Fiesta Day. He spent over twenty-five years on the Fiesta Day Committee and started the Street Carts of Canyon Lake club twenty years ago with the express purpose of raising funds for the needy. The Canyon Lake Toy Drive & Christmas Parade is in large part his creation; today, he still runs the toy drive himself. Mike's generous and service-oriented spirit is reflected in his eagerness to participate in fundraisers and help where he can, making him a crucial member of the Canyon Lake community.
