Governors Village Election Nominee Bios

At Large Nominee: Ed Hutton

I have lived in Governors Park for 27 years. I have served in many roles throughout the years including as an EMT and US Army Soldier (1977-1982) where I built and maintained Hospitals. I trained at the United States Army Medical Equipment and Optical School (USAMEOS). After serving for 5 years, I attained my Electrical Engineering degree and worked in several high-tech areas before transitioning into management and serving as VP in several large companies and start-ups. I eventually ran a successful consulting company until retiring in 2018. In between, I traveled to 50 countries and 44 US States and have managed/performed humanitarian work in Africa, Central America and Cambodia.

Here at Governors Village, I served as the very first POA treasurer and the second POA President. I have also been the volunteer operator of the POA email list server for the last 27 years. I now hope to serve as an At-Large member of the POA so that I can continue to contribute to our community. I have the time and the desire to assist the POA Board in moving this wonderful community forward. Thank you for your consideration.

Forest Nominee: Cary Moxham

I have lived in Governors Forest since April of 2003 and during that time I have enjoyed being part of my immediate neighborhood and the greater Governors Village POA. I have BS in Biology and Chemistry from Union College, a PhD in Biochemical Pharmacology from SUNY Stony Brook, and over 25 years of experience within the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

While living in Governors Forest I had volunteered in many of the neighborhood activities as my work schedule allowed until I retired in 2012. I have been a member of the Governors Forest Grounds Committee (GFGC) since 2015 and have been the Chairperson of the GFGC since 2018. In addition to the Grounds Committee, I have also volunteered my time to Habitat for Humanity and the Urban Ministries of Durham.

I would like to give back to the POA by serving as the Board representative to Governors Forest. In doing so I will strive to ensure that we maintain the attractiveness of our neighborhoods and upkeep of our POA amenities. I will also be committed to ensuring effective communication from and to the POA Board regarding topics that affect homeowners, that we continue to support POA social activities, and operate in a financially effective and responsible manner.

Park Nominee: Ted Ising

My name is Ted Ising and I have lived in Governor’s Park for 20 years with my wife, Amy, and our children, Elena and Peter. We have greatly enjoyed raising our children in our neighborhood, the friendships we’ve established, and the community and conveniences the neighborhood provides.

I’m currently an IT Director of Data Analytics and Platforms at Duke Health where I own the Federated Clinical Analytics Platform and Duke Data Lake implementations. I have more than 20 years of experience in IT governance and compliance, implementing policies, procedures, and work instructions to meet federal and state regulations, standards, and guidelines. In addition, I have more than 12 years of experience in IT planning and budgeting, including vendor management, creating and responding to RFPs, and contract management with vendors, partners, and customers. I was also a co-founder of an independent healthcare research organization, Epividian, Inc, where I served as Chief Technology Officer, Chief Security Officer, and board member for 8 years.

I look forward to the opportunity toserve on the Board, and, if given the opportunity, will strive to support the Board in making informed and equitable decisions to maintain and improve our great neighborhood so that our neighbors can have the experiences we have enjoyed these past 20 years.

Towes Nominee: Kerri Payne

I have lived in the Lake Townes for just over 2 years. I was compelled to became involved in the GV community quite quickly when the Townes HOA board had several openings and could not conduct business. I have been serving as the HOA president for the past 2 years and joined the POA board representing the Townes when my predecessor vacated the position last year. I currently serve as the POA board liaison to the Grounds Committee. Having a background in real estate, I have brought that skillset to the community with a commitment to maintaining the beauty and value of the GV neighborhoods. In my capacity as HOA President, I worked diligently alongside POA leadership to negotiate an exit from the previous property management company and secure an enhanced level of service for the community with a new provider. I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving Governors Village.

Updated ARB guidelines

Good Afternoon Governors Village Residents,

We had a few questions come in regarding the display of political signs and worked with your board of directors to gain an understanding of the Federal and State regulations regarding the rights and restrictions for displaying political signs and also flags.  After a discussion, the board has agreed to revise the current rule limiting the display of political signs from 30 Days before the election to align with Federal and State guidelines. This allows residents to display political signs  45 Days before the election with removal required seven days after the election.  We will work to get those rules updates online asap, but wanted to make sure everyone was aware immediately.

Here is a LINK to the general statute (47F) regarding political signs and flags and here is a LINK to a good article regarding the  Federal and State regulation of political signs and flags.

Thank You,

Governors Village POA                                                      c/o Community Focus of NC Inc
