Every year we have one board member who rotates off the board after serving a 3-year term. This makes room for a different resident to be elected to the board. The election happens at the annual meeting in June. Any resident whose name is on the deed of their home, is eligible for election, one person per household. If you are interested in joining or would like more information please contact the board. Working on the board is a great opportunity to meet and interact with the entire community as well as a chance to help manage the community. If you are interested in running please let the board know by May 9th.
