Committees
Otter Pond is one of those rare communities where our membership is deeply involved. Over 30% of the properties within our subdivision are engaged in the Executive Board, a formal committee, or perform volunteer work. The residents of Otter Pond are committed to maintaining the exceptional beauty, quality of life, and security of this neighborhood. Please email otterpondhoa@gmail.com with any questions. Thank you.
