Board of Directors
We are fortunate to have a diverse board comprised of both full-time and part-time residents. Each brings a wealth of experience that helps guide the overall management of the BSOA. With business backgrounds ranging from accounting to the legal profession, engineering, small business, management, and real estate, we appreciate their willingness to volunteer time and talent to direct the BSOA and to help Big Sky protect and maintain our quality of life.
Please feel free to contact a 2008/2009 BSOA Board of Director with any questions or comments.
