TAHOE DONNER VISION STATEMENT

POSITION SUMMARY Our client, Tahoe Donner Association (TDA), is seeking a dynamic leader to be their General Manager. TDA is nonprofit mutual benefit corporation and one of America’s largest homeowner’s associations, with nearly 6,500 properties and 25,000 members enjoying over 7,300 acres in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Tahoe Donner (tahoedonner.com) is an eclectic community with a passion for outdoor recreation and a celebration of the Tahoe lifestyle. A premier common interest development, established in 1970, Tahoe Donner is located approximately 25 minutes from world-renowned Lake Tahoe.

Tahoe Donner is comprised of approximately 7,000 acres, with over 4,000 acres of common area, trails, and open space interspersed among the community homes. Tahoe Donner is well-recognized for its importance in the Tahoe area’s community and business affairs. The Association operates several recreational facilities and programs, including downhill and cross-country ski areas, two restaurants, a championship golf course, equestrian center, and campground. These amenities are available for members and hiking trails and playgrounds are public access. Additionally, the Association manages other amenities for the exclusive use of the property owners and their guests, including tennis courts, swimming pools, a beach club marina on Donner Lake, and a fitness center.

This highly coveted location makes it an ideal place to live, work, and play. The National Council For Home Safety and Security ranked Truckee as the 4th safest city in California. Just off Interstate 80, Truckee is a portal to world class recreation in every direction.
