Annual Meeting - Independence Community

When and where is the Annual Meeting?

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 at 06:30 - 7:30 p.m. in Town Square Residents Club, 14213 Pleach St., Winter Garden, FL 34787.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting happens once yearly (hence the name!) to discuss pending Association matters of importance for the new year.

How can I participate in this meeting?

Firstly, you need to be an Owner of a lot in Independence Community. Renters, tenants, and non-Owner relatives are not eligible to participate in this forum in accordance with Florida Statute and the Association's governing documents.

What if I can't attend this meeting in person?

A Zoom conference call is published before the meeting so that remote owners can attend. The Zoom application must be installed in your computer.

I have not received anything in the mail. Can I pick up paperwork from the Management office?

Yes, of course. Stop by Town Square Residents Club during regular hours for a paper copy (9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Mon-Fri, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Sat-Sun).

Can I run for the Board as a new member?

Yes. We always encourage and welcome new candidates.

If you would like to become a candidate for election, you will need to be an Owner or Co-Owner of a Lot in the community and a Member in Good Standing (no active fines, no active violations, and no active delinquencies).

If I'm running for the Board, is there anything I should know in advance?

Directors are voluntary positions. They are filled by engaged and dedicated Members of the community who have an interest in seeing Independence is as successful as possible in every way for everyone. Directors on the Board have a solemn fiduciary duty to their fellow Owners and act on behalf of every resident fairly and equitably in all decisions they take. No one Director has any more sway than the others; it is a very collaborative body.

I have many more questions. Is there anyone I can ask for help understanding the Annual Meeting?

Absolutely. Our community's on-site Management team is able to answer most any question you have about the process.
