DCCA Board Seeks Candidates
The DCCA is grateful to our Board members and all their efforts on behalf of the community. From attending monthly Board meetings, to fielding homeowner concerns at community events, they are constantly “on-duty” and serve the interests of their fellow residents. Being a DCCA Board Member takes patience, a lot of reading, and attendance at regular monthly meetings. Board members also chair and/or serve on one of the community’s committees (Executive, ARB, Long Range Planning, Infrastructure, Community Affairs, Legal & Regulatory, and Grievance). If all that sounds like something you might be interested in, we encourage you to check into standing for election.
• Exercise fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of their fellow community members; • Attend regularly scheduled Board meetings and working sessions as the need arises; • Necessary skill set to meet the vacancy of retiring directors; • Committee membership involvement and potential chair responsibilities; • Preference given to members with prior committee involvement; • A willingness to develop an understanding of all issues that come before the Board in order to vote in a manner he/she believes is in the best interest of the community.
The DCCA Board, pursuant to the community bylaws, has appointed a Nominating Committee to review applications for prospective new board members. This year’s Nominating Committee includes Jane Cooper, Geoff Groat, Beth Bowen, Jim Morgan and Don Salomone.
Community members may also recommend other members for consideration by the Nominating Committee.
Community members interested in being considered for a board position may submit the self-nomination form located at www. debordieucolony.org. The form can be sent to Kelly Floyd at kfloyd@debordieucolony.org. Deadline to submit nominations to the Nominating Committee, or to self-nominate is March 1, 2024 by 5 pm. The Nominating Committee is seeking candidates with the following qualifications:
The nominating Committee will review candidates and present their slate of nominees to fill four vacated Board seats during the DCCA March 16 board meeting. The slate will then be included in the proxy for the election of four new Board members at the Annual Members’ Meeting on Saturday, May 4, 2024 at 10 am. The new members will serve a three-year term commencing on May 4, 2024. The Board members whose terms expire this year are Jane Cooper, Geoff Groat, and Wayne Hinman. Jody Bennett’s term on the Board ended when she sold her property in September, 2023.
