My Story
I moved to Sun City Anthem in 2004 when I retired. This community — the people, the facilities, the desert beauty — became my home. My friends and neighbors here are my family.
In 2012, my fiancé Bruce Hansen passed away. What happened next changed the course of my life: our managing agent secretly sold Bruce's home at 2763 White Sage Drive for $63,000 — a fraction of its market value — in a bid-rigged deal, with no notice to me, my agent, or the community.
When I discovered what happened and started asking questions, I was stonewalled. When I ran for the Board and won with the highest vote count (2,000+), I was removed in a secret session without a hearing or vote.
That was nine years ago. I've spent every day since then documenting, researching, filing, and fighting — not just for myself, but for every homeowner who has been harmed by management that answers to no one.
Professional Background
Before retiring to SCA, Nona's career spanned:
- Human Resources: Decades of experience managing people, resolving workplace disputes, and building fair policies.
- Municipal Management: Understanding how government and quasi-governmental organizations should operate — transparently and accountably.
- Non-Judicial Dispute Resolution: Professional mediation experience that could save SCA hundreds of thousands in legal fees.
Why I'm Running Again
Because the problems I identified in 2017 haven't been fixed. Management still operates with minimal oversight. Legal fees still consume your dues. Homeowners still don't have access to the information they need.
But now I have something I didn't have before: AI-powered tools that can give every homeowner the same access to information that management and attorneys have had for decades.
I'm not mad. I'm documented. And I have a plan.
The “AI Grandma” Thing
Yes, I'm 77 years old and I use AI every day. I built this website with it. I analyze legal documents with it. I create campaign materials with it. I use voice AI to make information accessible to everyone.
If a grandmother in her late seventies can learn to use these tools to fight a decade-long legal battle, imagine what they could do for our entire community.
That's not a gimmick. That's the future. And Sun City Anthem should be leading it.
