Meet the VCA’s new Board members Jack Hauser and Logan McNeil Campbell. David Keeley has been reappointed for another term.
Jack and his wife Lisa became Florida residents after spending decades in Minnesota. He has lived in Verandah and served as a Neighborhood Representative for about a year. Jack spent his entire professional career in finance, beginning with the public accounting firm Ernst & Young where he worked for eight (8) years. After leaving Ernst & Young he spent ten (10) years with USBank followed by working with early-stage companies in two (2) venture investment companies. In his final work years he was the Chief Financial Officer for two (2) early-stage healthcare technology companies. Jack writes, “Throughout my career I learned the value of financial discipline and how it can make the difference between success and failure in business as well as in the not-for-profit world.” Jack has also been a Board member for several non-profit organizations.
Jack has lived in two (2) communities with a Homeowners Association (HOA) and states that he has learned a great deal from these experiences. In the first community, the Board demonstrated both responsible budgeting and consistent delivery of services while the second community was not as expense focused, leading to substantial increases in HOA fees. He believes the difference between the two lay in the degree of focus on financial discipline.
Jack writes, “I am committed to having Verandah remain the type of community that made every one of us want to purchase a home here. Yes, as a community we must continue to invest in Verandah to maintain the quality of life we enjoy. I believe it is a great place to live, and I am confident we can keep it that way without creating a financial strain on the residents.”
Logan Campbell has been a full- time resident of Verandah since August of 2021 and is the current Neighborhood Representative for Mossy Oak. After working as a Special Agent for the FBI, Logan spent most of his professional life working to support higher learning in a variety of roles including: Director of Marketing for Prentice Hall HE; Chief Operating Officer for Pearson HE Learning and then as the Executive Vice President of Sales for Pearson Higher Education Learning, and; President of Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference (a Pearson Company), He has also served as a Board member of the National Association of College Stores Board.
Logan has numerous interests other than work which have included serving as an Assistant Scout Master, membership in four (4) musical groups; and coaching youth basketball, soccer, and volleyball teams. While on a religious mission in Peru, he coached women’s volleyball, including the Northern Peru Pre-Olympic team.
Logan writes, “Until retirement I traveled extensively for work (100 – 150 nights a year). When not away, most of my time was spent with my family. Candidly, the bulk of the heavy lifting in raising our two children was done by my wife of 54 years, Eileen. She’s done a wonderful job. Now we have more time (when not doting on our grandchildren and great-grandchildren) and we’d like to contribute to our community.”
