There is much going on this month, not just the Turkey.
It's a preparation kind of month.
Elections are the focus from now until January.
We're revving our internal engines and checking our bank balances for Black Friday, as well as marking our calendars to make sure time is set aside for the meetings for Beacon Hill, both Community and BOD.
In the upcoming weeks, we'll have more information posted on the sidebar of this blog, where it will remain until after January, for what to do to prepare for the upcoming election.
In the meantime, here is a link from the bylaws stating what happens during election time, as well as some information provided by Lisa Ruckman, Secretary, on the Board.
ANNUAL BOARD ELECTION:
Each January there is an Annual Meeting for the Members. Members vote for the Board of Directors. The terms are for one year. At least 1/3 of the total members must vote in person or by proxy for the vote to be valid.
"Nomination for election shall be made by a Nominating Committee. Nominations may also be made from the floor at the annual meeting." The officer positions (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer) are appointed at the first business meeting of the Board of Directors.
Any member in good-standing may submit an application to the management company to be on the ballot. If the application is received in time, the information may be sent out to the the homeowners along with the letter announcing the Members' Annual Meeting.
At the election, members -or their proxies- may cast one vote for each vacancy. Voting is by secret ballot and the person receiving the largest number of votes is elected.
Last January, we did not have enough members in person and signed proxies for the vote to be valid, so the vote was postponed until February when more proxies were present.

(this is why we need to get involved)
Please contact the Nominating Committee and recommend someone that they could consider nominating for the Board.
I'll be posting the list later.
