Board of Director Election

Jenn Banta

Hello Legacy neighbors! My name is Jenn Banta, and I am excited to put my name forward as a candidate for Board of Director for our HOA. I’ve been happily married to my husband for 18 years, and together we have two wonderful children—a son who is a senior at Eagle High and a daughter in 7th grade at North Star.
Over the past three years, I have been actively involved in community-focused initiatives and volunteer work, including organizing events, leading projects, and creating opportunities for neighbors to connect and engage with each other. I bring over 25 years of experience in administrative coordination, real estate, and event planning, which equips me to plan and execute community events that are organized, enjoyable, and inclusive.
My goal as Director is to enhance community involvement, foster a welcoming atmosphere, and create fun, memorable experiences for families of all ages in Legacy. I am passionate about building strong community connections, supporting our beautiful neighborhood, and ensuring that every event is thoughtfully planned and executed. I would be honored to serve our HOA in this role and work with residents to make Legacy an even more vibrant and connected community.
Thank you for considering me!

Gary Buckles

Professional Background

Gary retired after a 40-plus-year career at Nike, where he led operational and infrastructure technology initiatives supporting global supply chains and retail operations. He was fortunate to travel throughout North America, South America, and Asia, managing complex projects and building cross-cultural teams. His expertise in process optimization, risk management, and continuous improvement will bring valuable perspective to the Legacy HOA board.

Family & Community

Born and raised in Oregon, Gary and his wife of 44 years packed up their family and moved to Eagle, Idaho in search of “sanity.”   We loved the Legacy neighborhood and immediately knew that’s where we wanted to call home.  Our daughter also purchased a home in Legacy as well. Today, Gary treasures every moment with his seven grandchildren, morning walks around the neighborhood, workouts, and hunting down the city’s best Reuben sandwich. Maui remains his favorite getaway.

Vision & First-Step Initiative

Gary is running for the Legacy HOA board to keep our neighborhood beautiful, welcoming, and true to Idaho’s spirit. He has attended several Legacy HOA board meetings.   His top priorities include transparency in decision-making, consistency in processes, and clear communication between the board and homeowners. As his first step, he will study our governing documents and Idaho HOA laws, then try to gather feedback on how we can preserve Legacy’s charm and enhance our community.

His guiding motto: keep Idaho Idaho, and Legacy, Legacy.

Austin Crigger

My name is Austin Crigger. I’m a husband, father, and man of faith who feels blessed to call Legacy home. My family and I love taking walks through the neighborhood and cruising around on our golf cart—it truly feels like living in a resort or being on a permanent vacation. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Cal State Fullerton and attended Stanford University, obtaining my master’s degree from University of Phoenix, and I’ve built a career focused on leadership, communication, and integrity.

I’m passionate about both preserving and enhancing the beauty of our community. I believe Legacy should continue to be a place where families feel proud to live, with well-maintained spaces, thoughtful improvements, and a focus on quality in everything we do. I value working with honesty and fairness and believe in advocating for community growth without losing sight of fiscal responsibility. My goal is to contribute to the board in a way that helps Legacy continue to thrive while remaining the exceptional community we all fell in love with.

Scott Kent

Hi! I would like to personally introduce myself to all of you. My name is Scott S Kent and I live  in Snoqualmie River 1. My wife and I have lived in LEGACY since November 2019.

Many people may ask …what is your main reason for running for the LEGACY HOA Board of Directors? My answer is simple …”I want to keep LEGACY the Best Subdivision it is and Bring us all together!”

Too many people over the course of the past 6 years have tried hard to seriously compromise a well functioning community. I love LEGACY or I would never have purchased a home here. I want to keep LEGACY as great as it currently is and improve it wherever I can!

So, what do I bring to the table to be on the HOA Board of Directors? A lot of experience working with people. I have owned my own company since 1979. I have been National Sales Manager for 1 company (Northern Cap) for 12 years and VP of Sales (Dorfman Pacific) for 21 years. While I worked at Dorfman Pacific … my wife and I were also the Top Sales Reps for the whole company during a few of those years!

Other experience I bring to the Board in my brief experience with LEGACY, was being chosen soon after arriving in the community to be a “Phase Leader” on the West side of Legacy. I took this position to heart where I developed a Newsletter and hosted many Neighborhood Parties, used by all of us to get to know each other. On our side of Pamer we became quite close …almost like a family and still have this close relationship 6 years later. I held this Phase Leader position and was even elevated to become Phase Leader over all of LEGACY until the program was eventually discontinued by the then current President of the HOA … not sure why!

To this day … I have attended every HOA Board of Directors meeting and have worked hard to get who we wanted to be on the board, elected. And to date … we have been extremely proud of our voting accomplishments. Our success has been through signage and our well attended Neighborhood parties etc.

On a final note, please know I will have the whole of LEGACY always in my heart and will try hard to bring us all together and to try to stop all of the infighting. I know it’s not going to be easy as we will have a lot of tough decisions ahead of us. No one wants their HOA fees to go up … and I’ll do my best to keep this from happening. I just want us all to stop this constant fighting and begin to respect all of the dedicated Board members. All of the Board members are doing this job out of the goodness of their hearts. They aren’t being paid or given any special considerations. So, let’s all give them our due respect and learn to love each other a bit more.

Thank you for listening to me and I would be honored to receive your vote for the LEGACY HOA Board of Directors,

                                                                 Scott S Kent

Kristy Maniaci

My family and I have been proud residents of Legacy since March 2021. My husband, Eric, and I were high school and college sweethearts who reunited after seven years – we’ve now been married for 23 years. We are raising two wonderful children who are both in high school and are competitive athletes. I’ve been a full-time stay-at-home parent and caregiver for over 16 years and am deeply committed to our family, our home, and the community we’ve come to love.

In addition to raising our children, I currently care for my elderly father and previously cared for my late mother through her terminal illness.

Over the years, I’ve held numerous volunteer and leadership roles in nonprofit and parent-focused organizations, including:

• Moms Club International – Board Member, Chapter President, and VP of Membership
• National Charity League – Board Member and Event Coordinator
• The Ambrose School – Gala/Auction Committee Member
• Cole Valley Christian Schools – Gala/Auction & Boosters Committee Member, Substitute Teacher, and Lunch Service Team Member

My earlier professional career included executive operations and client services roles, with a focus on redesigning internal systems, human resources, and developing training programs to support team growth, improve service quality, and contribute to overall business success.

I’m volunteering for a position on the HOA Board because I care deeply about maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in Legacy. I believe I bring a unique combination of professional leadership, personal dedication, and a strong commitment to serving others.

My professional and volunteer roles have given me valuable experience in event planning, project and budget management, communication, and relationship-building – all of which are relevant to serving on the HOA Board. My personal experiences have strengthened my capacity for compassion, patience, and problem-solving – essential qualities for community service.

I believe in open communication, fiscal responsibility, and collaborative decision-making that reflects the values and needs of our residents. My goal is to help ensure that Legacy remains a beautiful, safe, and connected community for all current and future families. I care deeply about Legacy and its future, and I would be honored to represent and serve our neighbors on the Board.

Ivan Richardson

Dear Legacy Homeowner,
My name is Ivan Richardson and it is with considerable enthusiasm that I have accepted nomination for a position on the Legacy Homeowners Association (HOA) Board of Directors. My commitment is to collaborate diligently with fellow new board members and all homeowners to ensure the continued prosperity of our community.
Since 2020, my wife and I have called Legacy home. As a retiree, I keep busy tinkering with many things, with a particular fondness for weight training and passionately following The Ohio State Buckeyes football team. I am also a cofounder of a nonprofit organization.
With 26 years of experience managing engineering organizations at Fortune 500 companies, coupled with 12.5 years of service in the United States Marine Corps, I offer a diverse and valuable skill set. I also believe that my prior experience as an HOA board member for multiple HOAs further enhances my qualifications for this role.
I firmly believe that the strength of an HOA lies within its membership and its effectiveness is dependent upon the board’s commitment to openness, transparency, and willingness to actively solicit input from homeowners. My prior service on the Legacy board in 2023/2024, has reinforced my conviction that a homeowner-controlled board can effect positive change, particularly now that homeowners are empowered to shape our community’s future.
My goals for our community include:
1. Overseeing, strategizing, and executing the transition from developer control to 100% homeowner governance.
2. Serving as a dedicated advocate for homeowner concerns, proactively seeking and incorporating homeowner input into decision-making processes. No secret meetings.
3. Establishing homeowner committees to collaborate with the board on key initiatives.
4. Fostering greater homeowner participation in board meetings through measures such as:
o Disseminating meeting notices and agendas to all homeowners in a timely manner.
o Incorporating a homeowner forum during board meetings to facilitate direct dialogue, enabling homeowners to pose questions and express their concerns.
I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to the Legacy HOA Board of Directors, and I respectfully request your vote in the upcoming election. If you cannot attend the meeting, I would be pleased to assist you with your proxy. I look forward to the opportunity to represent you. Please do not hesitate to text/call me at (714)831-7833 or email YourHOA7@Proton.Me. Thank you for your time and consideration. I encourage you to exercise your vote!
Best Regards,

Ivan Richardson
