Committees
The BSOA By- laws allow the Board of Directors to create committees to act on their behalf on matters referred by the Board. A formal Policy Resolution adopted in 1997 establishes three types of Committees which may be formed by a majority vote of the Board:
  • Standing Committees - Exist until abolished by the Board
  • Committees - Exist on an annual basis and must be renewed through Board action; and
  • Ad Hoc Committees - Exist to carry out a specific task. Ad Hoc Committees are terminated when the task is complete.
All committees are comprised of at least two BSOA Board Directors, and in some cases BSOA or other community members with interest or expertise. Current Standing Committees include:

Big Sky Architectural Committee (BSAC)
The BSAC is given its authority through the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R's) of the many subdivisions that comprise the BSOA's area of jurisdiction. The Big Sky Owner's Architectural Design Manual was officially adopted in July of 1987 and was written to provide guidance for quality building and thoughtful development in a community expected to increase in popularity.

In 1993, the BSOA Board passed a Resolution formally recognizing the creation of the BSAC as an inherent part of the Association's overall mission. The resolution also authorized the hiring of necessary resources to staff the BSAC under the management of BSOA.

Created in the original Big Sky CC&R's (Meadow Village, Sweetgrass Hills, and Cascade) the BSAC is directed to consist of five persons. Three members are appointed by "Big Sky" (majority land owner at the time); the fourth member is appointed by the condominium unit owners, and the fifth member is appointed by a majority vote of the owners of residential lots located in all of the subdivisions. BSAC Board terms are consistent with BSOA Board of Director terms and last three years. We are always looking for BSOA members with a genuine interest in residential architecture, landscape planning, engineering, or design to run for office. 

Michele Geppert staffs the BSAC and can be contacted at

The BSAC meets between 1 and 2 times per month depending upon the current construction activity in the BSOA jurisdiction. The Committee is guided by a routinely updated Design Regulation written with the intent to meet the same goals originally proposed: to provide guidance for quality and thoughtful design and construction of property improvement in Big Sky's progressive development environment.
