Board Candidate Form


This is a candidate profile form to be sent to the membership to allow those who want to run for board member positions to complete to have their name placed on the ballot. This profile will be attached to 2012 Board Member Election Ballot & sent to the entire ownership. Otherwise only those who attend the annual meeting will know your a candidate thus taking away the opportunity to vote for you from those not in attendance. Anyone who is elected and not on the ballot will still have to fill this form out and it will be sent to the membership. Making it easier and more cost effective to the community for all the information to be sent to out at one time. Every owner in the community has a right to know who is on the board and to be informed of any conflicts. By disclosing all potential conflicts that may exist before the elections or that may occur in the future may prevent any accusations of fraud resulting from those conflicts.

Thank you. Now if we can only get this to catch on. I really think that most of the conflicts within homeowner associaitons can be fixed with just a little common sense and honesty. And for the board to realize that it isn't a dictatorship, a place for ego trips, or adults acting like children or want a be politicians.

I really appreciate the feedback and am open to it. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving!
