The Strawberry Property Owner’s Association (SPOA) is a non-profit membership association established in the early 1980’s in support of common issues facing the Strawberry, California community. SPOA provides a means to respond in a thoughtful and coordinated manner on issues within the Stanislaus National Forest related to public services, laws, regulations, as well as those that affect the preservation, enhancement and enjoyment of privately owned properties in Strawberry. The underlying purpose of SPOA is to promote the common interests of it’s residents and to inform and educate members and the general public on matters affecting the use, improvement, and preservation of Strawberry.
SPOA is governed by a Board of Directors and holds an annual membership meeting each year. Membership is on an annual basis and any owner or partial owner of real property in the Strawberry area is eligible for membership in the Association. The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring all activities, actions, decisions, plans, programs, proposals, service and maintenance issues and other matters that affect or may affect the Strawberry community. At the Annual Meeting, members discuss positions in support or opposition on issues affecting the Strawberry area, including water, fire protection, land use and other issues impacting the health, safety, and general wellbeing of SPOA members.
