Board of Directors Election

Americana Finnmark is once again having its annual election for Board members.
There are a lot of issues facing this community including some lingering projects (changes in the by-laws, issues with the replacement reserves, issues with the size of the Board are just  some of them)
Perhaps the biggest problem with the election is the total lack of interest that is demonstrated by the community.  There is seldom a quorum for the first round-  the result- the election results are postponed and no business can be done at that meeting.

The following month a quorum is not needed and a resident can be elected to the Board with just one or two votes.

So if you do not vote- do not complain when the Board does something you may not agree with.

The position of director takes up little of ones time-it is not a difficult job, and it offers one an inside view of the going on in the community.
On a personal note- I served on the Board for over ten years- I was, Director, Treasurer, Vice President and President-I had some good times and some strange times- but I did enjoy the time served.

So mail in your ballots and get involved.
