A Vision for Aquarius – Howard Benson for Board

Dear Neighbors,

My name is Howard Benson, and I am running for the Aquarius board because I believe in the future of this building—and because it has been part of my family’s story for generations.

My grandparents were original owners here in 1974. Through the years, Aquarius has been the backdrop for some of our most cherished memories—from my mother and her siblings spending summers here, to my own children and now grandchildren learning to swim in this very pool. After my grandparents’ unit was sold, my wife Diane and I chose to return, purchasing a second home here in 2005 so that our family could continue building memories in this special place.

Today, as a retired prosthodontist with more than 40 years of practice, I have the time and commitment to serve our community. I also bring more than 30 years of experience owning and managing commercial property. That background has taught me a key principle: a board should provide clear oversight and hold management accountable—not attempt to do their job for them.

I’ve seen Aquarius evolve over the decades, and I believe we have significant untapped potential. But to realize it, we must address ongoing operational issues that impact daily life—such as unreliable elevators, pool heaters, and hallway climate control. These aren’t just inconveniences; they’re solvable problems that affect our quality of life and property value.

Howard

• Improving facility reliability and upkeep

• Ensuring professional management is accountable and effective

• Increasing resident access to management and board transparency

• Advocating for practical, forward-looking improvements

My dedication to Aquarius is both personal and practical. I want this building to thrive, and I’m ready to work hard to make that happen.

If you believe in a well-run, vibrant, and cherished Aquarius, I would be honored to have your vote.

Sincerely,
Howard Benson
