The Verandah Community Association is pleased to welcome BJ Perkins as its newest board member. BJ and her husband Jeff have been proud residents of Sabal Point for over two and a half years, having relocated from Aurora, IL after raising their two sons, Anthony (31) and Nicolas (28), in Eden Prairie, MN.
Since settling in Verandah, BJ has embraced the community wholeheartedly, forming lasting friendships through golf and the club, and actively engaging with neighbors.
BJ currently works for Optum, a division of United HealthCare, where she has served for over 16 years. She oversees Federal Mental Health Parity, State Mandate, and Federal Regulation work, as well as the Behavioral Health component of the Exchange program.
BJ brings a wealth of leadership experience to the board. She has held numerous board and volunteer roles in youth sports, church, and school organizations, including a decade-long tenure with the Eden Prairie Hockey Association and three years as President of the Eden Prairie High School Booster Club. During her time in Aurora, she also served as President of her neighborhood homeowners association for five years, where she successfully negotiated vendor contracts and balanced community needs with fiscal responsibility. BJ is passionate about maintaining the high standards and welcoming spirit that make Verandah such a special place to live. We look forward to her contributions to our community
