About CCA

The CCA was incorporated originally in 1962 as the St. Ives Improvement Association, Inc. In 1963, it was renamed as the Chartwell Community Association, Inc. (CCA).

The CCA has 4 officers : President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. The CCA's Board of Directors consists of those four officers, the most recent Past President of the CCA, the current President of the St. Andrews Swim and Tennis Club and up to 12 other members. These latter members fulfill important positions and are responsible for Maintenance of the Building and Grounds, Social affairs, Roads and Safety, Programs, Public Service, Covenants, the Compass newsletter and other appropriate items. All of the CCA Directors are volunteers elected by community ballots in December to serve staggered 2 year terms. The CCA Board meets in open meeting upstairs in the Club House at 7:30 pm normally on the third Thursday of each month.

The budget of the CCA is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. The CCA is not tax-exempt. The annual CCA dues are $50 per residence and are collected as part of the annual property taxes that homeowners pay to the state.
