About Dr Jorge Hidalgo Board Member 2024

VOTE for Jorge Hidalgo on the March 2024 elections!

My name is Dr. Jorge Hidalgo, owner and resident at unit 202E.

I am running to become a member of the Promenade Condominium Board of Directors.

I have been a resident in the Promenade Condominium Community for 9 years and a total 20-years in MetroWest; first as a tenant and later as an owner.

My Professional Experience

• Doctor of Oriental and Integrative medicine

• Board Member Certified
•Notary Public

• most important, a Licensed Community Association Manager by the state of Florida.

• Completely qualified to be member and leader of the Board of Directors of our Promenade Condominium association.

My Goal and Dedication

I have a passion to serve and the will to work daily for my community.

As a retired professional, my family, my home and the well-being of my community is my priority.

I have the time and disposition needed to be an efficient and dedicated board member.

My Community Experience and skills

• Business and management skills

• Managing the security and safety matters of a community

• Director of Ohana Foundation and great at negotiating with vendors and service providers.

•Licensed Community Association Manager

My Focus and Promenade Condo Community Priority Plans

• As a board member is to address the security and safety of our community, especially in our condo area where we live.

• Making sure the appropriate preventative maintenance of our community is done in an effective and timely manner to avoid losses to our common property and owners units.

• To promote for the first time a sense of community to our condominium. For too many years we have been all separated without knowing each other and without engaging as a community. I want to change that.

• To create a Community Security and Safety committee.

• I will work diligently along with the other board members to make the security and safety of our community a priority.

• The high criminality around us keeps growing and growing and we must adjust accordingly. I have the knowledge and experience to make this happen.

My Target Improvement Plans for our Promenade Condo property as a member of the board includes:

• *Upgrade lobby entry security system, the one that we currently have is easily cheated and outdated.

• * A new smart system that will control residential access to the lobby door, gym door, community room door, pool restroom doors, pool gate and board-walk to gazebo.

• *Control and eradicate the mold infestation in our buildings, this is a current and very serious matter.

• *Upgrade the security camera system, the current ones that we have are not appropriate and are not doing its job. This new security camera system will be monitored 24/7 by the Orlando Police Department.

• *Pavement of parking lots and common areas, it is very bad right now.

• *Re-opening of the Clubhouse/Community center for free usage of all residents.(yes, you might be or not be aware that our community room is closed and a fee is required for its usage)

• *Gym upgrade.(hasn’t been touched in almost 20 years)

• *Change pool and dock usage hours.

• *Fix and re-enable our pool heater to have nice temperature during cooler months.

• *Establish new reasonable hours for association meetings so all members can participate; 10am or 2pm is not reasonable.

• *Put in place a security system for our community without having to pay $50,000-$60,000 a year for a sleeping security guard.

• *Closed circuit TV broadcast community channel.

• *Solar power that will benefit the whole community.

• *Install Electric Vehicle charging stations for the use of all residents.

• *Creation of Community Engagement Committee and a Security and Safety Committee.

• *Monthly meetings of the Board of Directors in our community room and open for all owners.

• *Hire a Registered Investing Agent to efficiently invest our funds in the financial markets and keep it producing money for us while we sleep.

• *Trim down those trees that are blocking the view of most of the lower floors apartments.

• *AC in elevators, the increasingly hotter months of the summer are making it dangerous for anyone to remain trapped in an elevator and have to wait for 1-2 hours for someone to come, as it happened recently.

•*Revise and reconsider an alternate proposed budget for 2024, bringing back down our monthly condo association fees.

I will also use my business and managing skills to make sure we always have a sound budget and to negotiate and get the best vendors at the best prices possible.

All of these improvements will increase the value of our real estate and provide us a better community for all to live in.

I am very confident that I will be an asset to our community and Board of Directors.

I have the qualifications, experience, contacts and resources to assist our board of Directors in making our Promenade Condominium community into one of the greatest communities of Central Florida.

Dr. Jorge Hidalgo, IMD, DOM, LCAM, NP
