Listen first. Serve every neighbor.

I'm Mindy Flinn, a Grande Vista neighbor running for the Campanas Residential Community board. I'd be honored to bring fresh eyes, a steady hand and real respect for what makes Campanas home.

Meet Mindy

A newer neighbor who chose Campanas on purpose

"I won't pretend to know all of our history. That's exactly why I'd start by listening."

My husband Chip and I moved to San Antonio from Connecticut at the end of February to be closer to our family. We've truly enjoyed making San Antonio our new home, and I'm grateful to be part of this community.

For more than 28 years, I've worked in nonprofit leadership and fundraising, mostly in healthcare and academic medicine. My work has centered on building trust-based relationships, bringing people together around shared goals, managing complex projects, and working with executives, boards, volunteers and community leaders.

Today I'm an Executive Advisor for Transformational Gifts at ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

What I'd focus on

Three priorities, all starting with you

A stronger sense of community

Keep bringing neighbors together, so more of us know each other by name and feel part of something we're proud of.

Landscaping and maintenance, done right

Neighbors see these issues differently, and that's okay. I'd start with the facts, listen to residents' concerns and work toward solutions that reflect our priorities.

Communication and transparency

Clear updates on what was decided and why, and more chances for residents to be heard before decisions are made. That's how trust grows.

My commitments

What you can count on

I can't promise specific outcomes before I've studied the budget, contracts and governing documents. I can promise how I'll serve.

Listen before decidingEvery neighbor gets a fair hearing, including the ones who disagree with me.
Treat our dues with careEvery dollar is a neighbor's money, and I'll ask hard questions about value.
Respect what came beforeI'm grateful to every neighbor who has volunteered. My goal is to build on their work.
Keep my work separateMy professional fundraising stays out of this role. I'll never use a board seat to ask neighbors for anything.
Show up, preparedIf travel ever conflicts with a meeting, I'll say so in advance and stay current on the materials.

Questions welcome

Ask me anything about the board

Wondering where I stand on something, or want me to look into an issue you care about? Send me a note. I read every message myself and will reply personally.

A short form opens right here. Your question goes straight to Mindy.

Fall 2026 election

I'd be honored to have your vote

There are more good candidates than seats this year, and I'm grateful so many neighbors care enough to serve. Please watch for the official ballot and voting instructions from the HOA and its management company, and vote for the candidates you trust. If that includes me, thank you.
