The Shipyard community has many opportunities for owners to become involved in the planning, execution, and review for all things Shipyard. While the SPOA Board of Directors governs the operation of the community, the day-to-day workings are managed by the SPOA Staff at the Welcome Center.

A description of each committee is listed below. If you are interested in learning more or applying to be on a committee, please contact the Administrative Operations Lead at operations@shipyardhhi.com.
