From Your Board Of Directors

BY RENEE MCCLURE

As a board member reflecting back on my first year as a Director, I want to say THANK YOU. We, the board, appreciate all you do to ensure our community continues to progress forward and grow stronger.

During 2022, you spoke up in so many ways:

• Completing and returning a record number of community surveys, which enabled the board to further align with the needs of our communities.

• Attending the annual membership meeting in quorum, which immensely aided in the progression and highlight of key issues for the board to address.

• Approaching the challenge of replacing the pool, which in return increased enhancements and functionalities.

You showed up with ideas, votes, and a strong presence and because of you a make forward strides to build and empower our community of diversity, amenities and views. In 2022, you showed how resilient and determined we are to have the best for our families and those who attend our programs and utilize our services.

We encourage the same drive in 2023 from each of you, now more than ever, to keep this momentum moving upward and stronger. We want your voices heard, not only where votes are shared… but ALL year round. This can be done in several ways, including:

• Attend and Join Committees – They are held monthly to provide recommendations to the board for community improvements. To date there is not enough voices joining the committees in the form of active participation

• Attend Monthly Board Meetings – There is a standing member speaking section for

• Continue To Attend Programs & Services –Many of the events continue to show increased level of attendance.

Friendly reminder… All meetings are posted on the website and broadcasted via email communications. As a board we represent you and need to hear the good, the bad and most importantly how to improve. We urge everyone to use their voice to say something, if you see something.

Again, THANK YOU, once again for all that you do. Without you, none of the success achieved to date would have been possible.
