Judi Cannon
Judi Cannon first came to San Antonio in 1973 as an Air Force wife. She has been an Air Force civil service employee for over 35 years. After spending four years as the Resource Management Flight Chief for the 100th Services Squadron at RAF Mildenhall, she returned to San Antonio in March 2005 to assume the Resource Management Flight Chief position for the 37th Services Division at Lackland AFB, the largest Services unit in the Air Force. During her tenure at Lackland, Judi had fiduciary responsibility for an appropriated fund budget of $25 million and non-appropriated fund revenues in excess of $44 million. In August of 2009, Judi moved to the newly formed 502nd Air Base Wing to serve as Resource Manager for Joint Base San Antonio Manpower, Personnel, and Services, combining those functions for Lackland AFB, Randolph AFB, and Ft Sam Houston.
Judi has been a proud Villages of Westcreek homeowner since her return to San Antonio in March 2005, and has enjoyed seeing the community grow and thrive. She feels now is the time for her to give back to the community and help keep it one of the best places to live in San Antonio. She has over 35 years of financial management experience to offer in the areas of budgeting and fiscal responsibility, including over 17 years of supervisory experience. She believes in full disclosure and the highest standards of integrity in both business and personal aspects of life.
Although her own daughter is grown and living in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, Judi is very much interested and concerned for the safety and well-being of the children in our community. She supports efforts to make and keep the Villages of Westcreek a secure and happy environment for all the residents to live, play, and grow, physically, mentally and spiritually.
If elected to serve on the Board of the Villages of Westcreek Homeowners Association, Judi promises to do her utmost to engage and interact with all homeowners, not just the elite few. Our board must be open to new ideas and maintain open and responsive lines of communication. Ideas are the springboard for improvement and growth, and everyone should have the opportunity for their ideas to be heard and considered. The community and the association belong to all the homeowners, and everyone should have a voice. Judi would like to help your voice be heard. |

Kevin Drummonds
I am proud to be a 22-year veteran of the Air Force, retiring in December of 1998. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and currently work for Computer Sciences Corporation. Rhonda and I have lived in Westcreek since 1997 where we raised two children who now have families of their own and have given us three wonderful grandchildren. I served as President and Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Association from 2000 to 2002.
I firmly believe that communications and openness in all actions of the Board is key to restoring and maintaining the trust of the Homeowners in those that manage our community. This includes all forms of communications, whether it be telephone, email, meetings, or even one-on-one. I hope to bring a high degree of customer service and professionalism in all our dealings. In addition, those elected as our representatives should be held accountable, to do the Association’s business in the light of day and with a high degree of fiduciary responsibility and personal integrity. The ability to manage a budget within the resources available should be very high on our priority list. Tax and spend has never been the answer. Finally, security of our families, our property, and our community as a whole should be high on our agenda as well. Bottom line: Westcreek has always been a great place to live. If we inform and involve the Homeowners in our decisions, do our business in the open, make sound budget decisions, and keep our community safe, we will make this an even greater place to live.

John Steele
Born and raised in Little Falls, New York. I enlisted in the Air Force on October 7, 1978 and attended basic military training at Lackland AFB, TX. I have been assigned to many bases throughout the United States and the world including Lowry AFB, CO, Yuma, AZ, Kirtland AFB, NM, Amherst MA, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, Eglin AFB, FL, Lackland AFB, TX, Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Pentagon, DC. I now work for SAIC as a Senior Analyst supporting the 24th Air Force as a Network Operations Planner.
I received the Airmen Scholarship and Commissioning Program and completed Syracuse University’s Electrical Engineering program. He is a distinguished graduate from Air Force ROTC. Later I graduated from Webster University in 1988 with a Master’s degree in management. In 1993 I was selected as an Under-Forty National Director of the Air Force Association and later elected as a National Director in 1994. I also served as a Trustee to the Aerospace Education Foundation. While living in Fairborn, OH, I served on the Board of Directors for my Homeowners Association as the Architecture Chairman. I instilled solid financial management and championed the creation of an emergency fund.
I’m married and my wife Carri and I have a son, Brian, age 11. We have lived in Westcreek since May 2002.
I want to see our community be returned to the residents. I want to pursue greater security and financial integrity and strength to our Home Owners Association. Openness is critical to the communication between a Board of Directors and the community it serves and I will insist this takes place. It is time we, as a community, reclaim our community and the direction it is going in.

David Daniels
David was born in the Bay Area of California. As a United States Air Force military member of 12 years, he brings loyalty, integrity, and dedication to all his endeavors.
David is currently a K-9 Handler Instructor at Lackland Air Force Base where he has gained significant skills in leadership, mentoring and the all important people skills. He moved to the Westcreek community in April of 2009. He is planning to retire in this community and would like to see the community flourish and grow into a leading community in the North West region of San Antonio. David believes in SAFETY, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY. All of these components equal security. Security is knowing that our HOA is working conscientiously to uphold customer service and professionalism standards. It is David’s hope that the community comes together and embraces the true meaning of that word. We as a community are at a crossroads. It is important that the needs of the community are heard and everyone has their say; then and only then, will this be a true “community”.
Trust in the board needs to be rekindled which necessitates open door sessions each and every time!!! Westcreek should be the pinnacle of North West San Antonio as it was intended to be. |
