Village Board of Directors

The Owen Brown Community Association is a non-profit civic organization whose purpose is to promote the health, safety, common good and social welfare of its residents. The association works in partnership with the Columbia Association and provides a range of services for its residents, which include advocacy, information referral, community-wide events, room rentals and enforcement of covenants (property standards).

The association is managed by an all volunteer Board of Directors, which has at least five members who serve two year terms. The Board establishes policies, oversees the budget, appoints committee members and the village manager. The Village Board is elected by the members of the association, which is made up of all landowners and tenants within the boundaries of the village.  

The Village Board carries out its duties with the assistance of volunteers and a paid staff located at the Owen Brown Community Center (OBCC) at 6800 Cradlerock Way. The Village Board holds their meetings on the  first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the community center.  Work sessions may also occur on the third Tuesday of the month when needed.  Residents are encouraged to attend a meeting and speak out on any issues of concern.

The Columbia Council Representative is our elected representative to the Columbia Association Board of Directors, and also serves as a non-voting member of the Owen Brown Board of Directors. The Council representative is elected for a two-year term.

​Village Elections
