Tahoe Donner Association
President
dkoenes@tahoedonner.com
Don Koenes was appointed to the board in late September 2024 to fill Steve Mahoney’s vacated seat after the latter moved to Vermont. Koenes and his wife, Denise, spend much of their time in Roseville, but stay in Tahoe Donner for about four months each year.
“Tahoe Donner has something for everyone, no matter what the season of the year or the season of your life,” Koenes says. “For me, it is a place for my family to gather, to enjoy the outdoors, to be happy together, and it is a place to make new friends.”
Koenes isn’t new to the association’s governance. He volunteered on the General Plan Committee Task Force and sat through countless board meetings before being elected to the board in 2018 and serving two terms, including four years as board president. Congestion at Tahoe Donner amenities during peak seasons convinced him to get more involved in the association, but helping maintain the community’s quality of life, safety, value proposition and family focus is where Koenes wants to make a difference.
“One person’s suggestion is another person’s criticism,” Koenes says, noting that running a $24 million business with nearly 6,500 homes isn’t a simple proposition. “Regardless, everyone has the same motivation: making Tahoe Donner better, from whatever their perspective. Perspectives range from personal enjoyment to financial concerns, from member rights to providing good guest experiences, too.
“Our amenities must be well maintained to serve our members and guests of members well, including capacity for enjoyment. And we must do all of this in a fiscally responsible manner, with broad member input. I was not a single-issue candidate, nor will I be a single-issue board member.”
