Palmetto Bluff Neighborhood Association, Inc. will hold our Annual Meeting of Members on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. local time, at The Lodge, Waterfowl Rd., Bluffton, SC 29910.

It is important that members show that they care about issues in our community.  This can be done by voting (most important), attending the meeting if possible, and by letting us know where they want to see focused efforts over the next year. 

The primary purpose of the meeting is to re-elect candidates for our Board of Directors, following which we will report on the PBNA’s recent activities and hear from members regarding their priorities for the coming year.  While we are still finalizing the agenda likely topics include:

•  “Building trust” with the ownership group and management
•  Monitoring the in-progress first Club audit (and who owns what)
•  A real-time report on the SC Supreme Court hearing earlier that morning and prospects for settlement
•  Member survey
•  Invitation to join community committees
•  Social – the fun committee
•  Membership – strengthen our united voices
•  PB Governance – report on PB governance, litigation and settlement developments affecting all PB members
•  PB Financial – benchmark our dues, amenities, and service levels with similar communities
•  PB Special Interests – amplify the asks from the ‘clubs within a club’
•  What is important to you!

PBNA directors serve three-year, overlapping terms.  The nominees for election this year, with terms through December 31, 2029, are Holly Miller and John Meltaus. 

Please vote by proxy via the link HERE.

Over the past year, the PBNA Board has advocated for members’ interests with the developer and management, pursued special projects such as the May River traffic solution and the Trust capital reserve, and analyzed the Club and Trust assets, budgets, costs and revenues.  The PBNA Board is reviewing the engagement of an industry expert or auditor to assist in benchmarking.  The PBNA’s balance sheet consists of cash used for ongoing operations.

The PBNA promotes member interests through transparency, communication, and education and is independent of the ownership group, the local developer, and management.
