PROSPERITY HEIGHTS HOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 Jeff Allen  - President (Term 2021-2023): Jeff, his wife Kate, their three children, and dog Bailey have lived in Prosperity heights since 2013 and love the neighborhood. Jeff has worked in finance and accounting for all of his career. Jeff spends most of his free time either coaching, playing, or attending sporting events. His kids attend Camelot Elementary and are active members at Camelot Community Club. Jeff is originally from Michigan where he grew up and went to college. He has called Virginia home now for 15 years. 

Miléna Santoro  - Vice-President (Term 2021-2023): Miléna and her husband Bob moved into the neighborhood in 2000, and have felt so blessed by the support of this amazing community as they have raised their twins, Lauren and Christopher, now both attending university. Miléna, a Canadian expat who is now a proud US citizen, is a professor at Georgetown University and the author of several scholarly books. She has served in leadership roles on the Boards and Executive Councils of several national and international professional associations. Locally, she has volunteered as a Sunday school teacher at her church, and participated in the work of advocacy groups like Lewinsville Faith in Action and OneVirginia2021.

Kevin O'Brien - Treasurer (Term 2021-2023): Kevin and his wife, Allison, have lived in Prosperity Heights since 2020.  They joined the neighborhood after spending the previous decade living in different parts of Arlington, VA.  Kevin is an accountant who started his career working mostly with non-profit organizations, before transitioning to working with real estate companies.  He enjoys watching sports with his wife, though most of the teams they root for are bitter rivals.  Kevin is proud to serve the community that has made his family feel so welcome and looks forward to getting to know his neighbors better through this role.

Sachin Telhan - Secretary  (Term 2022 - 2024): Sachin is a local in Annandale, Virginia as he has gone to both Luther Jackson MS and Falls Church High School. In addition, he has attended George Mason University for both his BS and MS degrees. He has lived in the Annadale/Fairfax area for 35+ years and in the Prosperity Heights community for over 12 years. Sachin has two teenagers and is very active in their upbringing and activities. The primary reason why Sachin has joined the HOA Board of Directors is to update our HOA practices so that they are more transparent and allow ample time for homeowners to make voting selections. He is eager and dedicated to make an inclusive environment for minority groups and would like to bring their voices to the board.

Kelsey Gerbig - Director (Term 2022-2024): Kelsey and her husband, Jonathan, have lived in Prosperity Heights since Spring 2021. Previously, they spent a little over a year in Arlington before deciding to put down roots in the area. Before that, they called Michigan their home. Kelsey is a small animal veterinarian (dogs, cats, and the occasional exotic animal), with a special interest in behavioral medicine and preventive care. When not caring for patients at her job, she's taking care of her zoo at home which includes two dogs (Crosby and Ollie), a pride of cats, and several fish. She loves working with her community and volunteers with Fairfax County Animal Shelter on a regular basis. When not taking care of animals, you can find her with a book in the backyard. 

Michael Hayes - Director (Term 2022 - 2024): Michael is an original homeowner, having lived here since 1984. He is a widower, having lost his wife, Vicki, back in 2011. Born in PA, but growing up, attending college and retiring in northern VA, he has chosen to call Prosperity Heights is home for the last 38 years. As a new board member, he hopes to ensure that each and every homeowner has the opportunity to be heard by the board if they have an issue, a unique idea, or helpful suggestion that will make our community an even better place to live in harmony together. He strongly believes that the board should be reflective of, and report to, the members it represents.

Andrew Kysor - Director  (Term 2022 - 2024): Andy and his wife, Devon, moved into Prosperity Heights at the beginning of 2020. They previously lived in Fairfax City after moving from Oklahoma and determined Northern Virginia would be a great area to raise a family. They now have a daughter and love that she’ll grow up in this neighborhood. Andy works as an internal auditor in the telecommunications industry. He enjoys working on cars and attends the occasional track day when time permits. Andy joined the board as he and his family felt like they were accepted as part of the community from the day they moved in and he wants to do what he can to help maintain that amazing environment.
