It's Election Time in Tanglwood Lakes

Tanglwood Lakes is similar to many organizations from your local town council on up to the U.S. Government in that the affairs, purposes, and powers are administered and governed by those individuals duly elected. For TLCA it is a Board of Directors as designated through the Articles of Incorporation which describes the Membership, Voting Rights, Powers of the Board of Directors, and the process for Elections. The By-Laws & Legal Committee along with the Nominating Committee recently recommended changes to our procedures which were presented and passed at the May Community meeting. The revision now establishes the criteria to be placed on the ballot, eliminates the petition process, and lengthens the time to provide the official ballot to our membership. A candidate must be a Member of the Community in good standing for two years at the time they take office and submit the completed Candidate Application by the due date. During June the applications are received and in July the ballot assembled by the Nominating Committee making sure they have a short biography, a recent photo, and a signed conflict of interest declaration for all the candidates. The slate is then presented to the Secretary. The Official Ballot – Election packet will now be mailed per the change to the members at least 30 days before the October Membership Meeting. Since the October Meeting (third Saturday of the month) occurs on October 15 this year, it means the ballots are sent out before September 14. The election packet will be sent via First Class Mail. The amendment change also provides an opportunity for a member to receive the official ballot/election packet via electronic mail. The electronically received ballots must be reproduced and returned either in person at the Chalet Office or through the US Postal System. The completed ballots must be received by 9 a.m. on the date of the SemiAnnual Meeting (October 15, 2022). The Election packet will include a short biography and photograph for each candidate. Print copies of the slate will be in our newspaper and available digitally on our website. Keep your eyes open for the official mailing from Tanglwood in September and make sure to return your ballot promptly.
