BOB VANSICKLE 805 Blue Heron Cove My wife, Anna, and I moved to Lake Arrowhead back in 2014 as renters. We had moved down from New Hampshire and were looking for a place to settle near our two sons in the Atlanta area. After a year of searching throughout North Georgia for a permanent home, we came to realize that there was no better place than the community we had, by pure chance, chosen to base our search from. Eventually we purchased property in the newly formed Clearwater section and built our home.

Personally, I have 3 grown children, 4 growing grandchildren with a 5th on the way. Professionally, I have owned my own business, worked for both large and small corporations and have been a member of the executive teams of various start-ups, public, and private companies in the technology sector.

I served as the president and national representative for South Dakota’s arm of the National Society of Professional Engineers. Additionally, I was a HOA board member for the Heritage of Roswell neighborhood for 4 years leading the transition from a developer advisory board to a community owned HOA.

I have served on the LAPOA board for two years and I am the liaison to the Infrastructure Committee which is a great group of people with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

While on the board we have completed the mainline road drainpipe slip lining projects and are now working on secondary road drainpipes needing repairs. Additionally, the first phase of proper subgrade repair and overlay work on the main road has begun with several more phases to follow before moving onto the secondary road surface repairs. I would like to see the mainline repairs completed before leaving the board so I would appreciate your vote very much.

Company whose main clients are the cable companies and I am also a Board Member of a SAAS company headquartered in Boston. Additionally I have been a Board Member of several non-profit organizations and had started a mentoring program for recent graduates looking for careers in the technology field.

My wife and I are firm believers in giving back to the community, which is what led me to apply for the open Board Seat that became available this past summer. The task designated for this Board position was to be liaison to both the Safety & Security Committee and the ‘yet to be reformed’ Communications Committee. I am happy to say that the new communications committee is now in place and beginning the hard work of developing new and re-activating previous methods for getting information both to and from the membership.

Thank you for your consideration and I would very much appreciate your vote and continued support.
