John Kiser (residential candidate)  Mr. Kiser has been a Stone Oak property owner for the past 18 years, and served as Vice-President of the SOPOA Board of Directors during his last six terms, 2011-2024.  He is a Certified Master Naturalist, and serves as the SOPOA Aesthetics Committee Chairman.  He also serves as ARC Chairman for his neighborhood HOA, Canyon Rim.  His knowledge is an asset in areas of water conservation and ecological issues, as he helps to ensure the Stone Oak community is up-to-date with the most current conservation ideas and procedures.  He has worked hard to help educate the Board, the Management Company personnel, and the Stone Oak community by assisting in the coordination and development of the past Stone Oak POA Rain Barrel Workshops, and current Arbor Day events.  He has represented Stone Oak at national Master Naturalist events, and given lectures on the conservation work Stone Oak has utilized to better the community.  He has also taken the time to reach out to media and SAWS to ensure they too understand Stone Oak's achievements.  His personal contacts through his certification, and his continued support of the POA management office staff, prove to be assets to everyone.  Mr. Kiser would like to continue to serve on the Board of Directors, assisting with the overseeing of the organic compost and fertilizer projects, ensuring tree canopy preservation, and continuing with water conservation education and efforts.
 
Carolyn Miller  (residential candidate)  Dr. Miller has served on the Stone Oak POA Board of Directors since her appointment in 2024.  She would like to return to continue her work for the Stone Oak POA Community.  A long-time resident of Sonterra, Dr. Miller has volunteered within the Stone Oak POA Community for years.  After 23+ years of service in the Air Force, Dr. Miller is a retired Air Force Colonel, retired Department of the Army and Veteran’s Affairs Hospital federal civilian employee, and a current college professor teaching Anatomy and Physiology to future health care professionals.  She believes in giving back to help support communities and their residents.  She has served on the Sonterra HOA Neighborhood Representative Committee for the Highlands, Stone Oak POA Neighborhood Representative Committee for the Sonterra HOA, Board member for the Alamo Regional Science and Engineering Fair, member of the Scientific Review Committee member for the Alamo Regional Science and Engineering Fair which advances students to the state and international competitions, Judge for the Texas Science and Engineering Fair, and  Assistant Chair for the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.
