2026 Letter from the HBCA President
Dear HBCA Members and Huntington Beach Residents,
As we begin a new year, I want to reflect on our community’s accomplishments and look ahead to the opportunities before us. The start of the year brings renewed energy and optimism, and I am pleased to report that our Community Association enters this year with a strong foundation and a clear vision for the future.
​
One of the most significant initiatives in the coming months is the renovation of the Casino. This project is a substantial investment in our shared spaces and reflects our commitment to maintaining and enhancing the quality, safety, and functionality of our facilities. The renovation will update aging infrastructure. As plans are finalized, we will provide regular updates on timelines, construction phases, and any temporary impacts on building use.
​
In addition to the building renovation, several other projects are in the planning stages. These include continued improvements to common areas, evaluations of long-term maintenance priorities, and other initiatives to strengthen community engagement. Our goal is to preserve what makes our neighborhood special and to plan for the future in ways that benefit all members of our association.
​
None of this work would be possible without the dedication of our board members, volunteers, and residents. Your membership, feedback, participation, and additional financial support play a critical role in shaping the direction of our community. I encourage everyone to stay informed, attend general meetings when possible, and share ideas or concerns as projects move forward.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish you a healthy, prosperous, and fulfilling new year. We look forward to working together as we continue improving the community we are proud to call home.
​
Warm regards,
Chris Forstbauer
HBCA President (2025-2026)
