VOL. 32, NO. 7
Important notice concerning upcoming Diamondhead Property Owners Association election of Officers and Directors Dear Members, Candidates and members raised a concern regarding the upcoming election. There was fear that a technical procedure was not followed that could invalidate the election if anyone challenged it. Out of an abundance of caution, the POA requested a thirdparty legal opinion regarding whether proceeding as-is could invalidate the election. The legal conclusion is that it was a possibility. I, as the Election Chairperson, after discussion with the board and input from numerous candidates and legal counsel, determined that all steps necessary to maintain the validity of the election must occur. To that end, an entirely new election packet will be mailed out to all the members in substantially the same form as the previous packet.
What does this mean? First, it means that the annual membership meeting will NOT be held on the date originally scheduled. Second, the meeting will be held on July 18, 2020. Third, the absentee ballots mailed with the notice dated May 15, 2020, are NOT VALID. Lastly, the only means to vote by absentee ballot will be via the new absentee ballot included in the UPDATED 2020 ELECTION MATERIAL packet that is being sent to the members on or about Friday, June 12. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Regards, Bob Marthouse Election Chairman
CANDIDATE PHOTOS AND BIOS ARE LOCATED ON PAGES 14 AND 15.
