Williamsburg Settlement HOA Welcomes New Members on Board After Annual Meeting, Next Meeting Set for May 19
For many Williamsburg Settlement residents, this year’s HOA annual meeting wasn’t just another date on the calendar—it brought meaningful changes in leadership and a reminder of the neighbors who step up to help guide the community forward.
Just a few days before the meeting, longtime board member Chris Sweigert made the decision to resign as he and his wife prepare to welcome a new baby this summer.
In a message shared with him, the Williamsburg Settlement HOA Board president expressed both gratitude and understanding: “I have to take this time to wish Chris great luck in his next part of life. Chris and his wife are expecting a baby this Summer and we all know too well how much spare time you have with a newborn. Chris will be vacating his spot on the board to prioritize his family. Chris, thank you for everything, your knowledge has been incredibly valuable and you will be missed!”
It was a reminder that behind every board position is a neighbor balancing real life and real responsibilities.
New Board Members Step In to Serve Williamsburg Settlement
With Chris’s resignation, four board positions needed to be filled. Following the election, residents selected James Kelley, Sachie Etherington, and Matthew Zimmerman to serve three-year terms. Bill Petry will step in to complete the remaining one-year term tied to Sweigert’s seat.
For many homeowners, these transitions matter more than they might seem at first glance. HOA board members help guide decisions that affect everything from neighborhood upkeep to long-term planning—things that directly shape day-to-day life and the look and feel of Williamsburg Settlement.

A Neighbor’s Perspective: Meet Matthew Zimmerman
One of the newly elected members, Matthew Zimmerman, is still relatively new to the neighborhood, having moved to Williamsburg Settlement in early 2025. Professionally, he works as a data analyst for a large online financial company, but his approach to serving the community is rooted in something more personal.
In his candidate statement, Zimmerman shared what drives him.
“As a data analyst, husband to my wife Amy, and father of my three boys, my Christian faith and Texas roots shape how I approach everything. That means with integrity, compassion, and commitment to loving my neighbors as myself. I hope to bring a steady, detail-oriented mindset to the table and a genuine desire to maintain and or make as required our community a great place for families to call home. Williamsburg Settlement is a special place. I desire to see it remain that way for my children, and their children many years from now.”
It’s a perspective many residents can relate to—wanting to preserve what makes the neighborhood feel like home while planning thoughtfully for the future.
