Outranked by His Own VP? What’s Happening Behind the Board Table
It’s becoming harder to ignore what’s playing out in Power Ranch leadership: President Ken Starks has allegedly turned over large portions of his official duties to Vice President Anh Jung, including agenda setting, management coordination, and even meeting leadership. And it’s not just a casual shift — it's a structural one. Neighbors are noticing, and so are we.
According to residents familiar with recent board activity, Anh Jung is now:
Drafting meeting agendas
Running weekly meetings with management
Acting as lead during Board sessions
Managing communications the President is expected to handle
In fact, it’s reported that Board Member Katharine (“KT”) Wick often takes over the second half of meetings, further fragmenting accountability. If true, this pattern paints a disturbing picture of a board that has delegated leadership responsibilities without consent, transparency, or oversight.
Why It Matters
The role of Board President is not symbolic — it's structural. The President is expected to:
Lead meetings
Act as the official spokesperson
Coordinate with management
Ensure lawful execution of board duties
When that role is secretly offloaded to someone else, it’s not just improper — it’s a violation of the Board’s ethical and legal responsibilities.
The Power Ranch Board Code of Ethics demands that elected officers perform their duties faithfully and in the interest of the community. Quietly outsourcing the presidency while keeping the title undermines transparency and violates public trust.
So Who’s Accountable?
If Ken is unable or unwilling to fulfill the role he campaigned for, the proper step is resignation or reassignment by board vote — not backdoor delegation. Homeowners deserve to know who is making decisions, managing communications, and running meetings on behalf of 12,000+ residents.
When governance becomes a shell game, accountability dies. And Power Ranch can’t afford more secrecy from its leaders.
