Who represents you?
Who does the work?

An organization chart separating association governance, UCO representation, professional management, and recreation services.

A community of separate organizations

Century Village is not governed by one management chain. Your condominium association, UCO, and WPRF have different responsibilities. The relationships below distinguish representation from day-to-day operations.

WPRF: a separate recreation organization

Recreation management and staff handle the clubhouse, recreational facilities, activities, and resident recreation IDs. Relationships with UCO and owners are governed by applicable agreements. WPRF is not shown as a department subordinate to the UCO LCAM or an association board.

How to read this chart: Connector labels describe representation, oversight, or work coordination—not a universal employer-reporting hierarchy. Dashed boxes identify operational or advisory support. Specific reporting lines depend on employment arrangements, contracts, delegations, and governing documents.

What each role contributes

RoleWhat owners should understand
Unit ownersRaise concerns, review information, participate in association decisions, and communicate priorities to their delegates.
Association boardGoverns its own association. UCO membership does not transfer all building decisions to UCO.
Delegate / alternateConnects the association to UCO governance. Board Synergy recommends gathering owners’ views and reporting back after major decisions.
Delegate AssemblyExercises UCO board authority under its governing documents. Review the vote and approval process for the particular action.
Executive Board and officersPerform distinct bylaw roles. Their overlapping membership is important when understanding review and accountability.
CommitteesDevelop expertise and recommendations. A committee recommendation is not automatically authority to spend or contract.
UCO LCAMProvides professional management. UCO’s bylaws require an employed LCAM; committee participation is nonvoting. The LCAM does not replace elected governance.
Association LCAMWorks for the individual association under its management arrangement. This is a different assignment from UCO’s community manager.
Staff, volunteers, vendors and advisersCarry out assigned services or professional work. Their authority comes from their role or contract, not from simply being involved.
WPRFHandles recreation responsibilities separately. Identify the relevant service and agreement rather than assuming UCO controls every amenity.

Where Board Synergy fits

Education and support. Board Synergy can help owners, directors, and delegates understand responsibilities and prepare better questions. It has no governing authority over associations, UCO, WPRF, managers, or vendors.

Public agencies also sit outside this chart. Emergency services, building officials, regulators, law enforcement, and courts exercise their own legal responsibilities; they are not UCO departments.
