MY "MEET & GREET" SPEECH

Good evening, everyone and thank you for taking the time to listen to all the candidates whether here or at home.

I previously served on the board of this community for 6 years between 2015 and 2021 as secretary, Vice President & President. My qualifications to serve again are therefore without question. Serving on a board for a community like ours requires experience and I can certainly offer that.

Although my prime concern is to ensure that this incredible community remains as a wonderful place to live and understanding that our #1 duty is a fiduciary one, on my website I detailed many of the things that I want to see achieved by the next board. Here are few of the highlights.

  • I am very much a team player and want to see our board return to being a cohesive and generally united one in the decisions and actions that they take and one that is open and transparent at all times. With my past experience, I know that I can deliver that.
  • I want to make sure that everyone in the community is aware of what our vendors do and what their responsibilities are. I would arrange at board meetings, or at separate meetings, that we invite vendors, especially those that have not spoken to the community before, to make presentations explaining their role in the community.
  • I want to see Board meetings being more as they used to be, with homeowners allowed to speak more freely on topics of community wide interest. The return of Board workshops to allow residents to see more of the inner workings of the community and more Town Hall Meetings allowing for a free exchange of ideas.
  • I want a strong management team with a strong and personable leader running the community under the specific direction of the board.
  • We need residents to serve on the board and committees. People who serve want to feel appreciated and not bullied. I will make sure the board creates an environment using whatever tools are at their disposal to ensure that happens. Without volunteers this community will not thrive.

    Thank you for listening and I look forward to answering your questions and serving the community again for the next two years.
