President of the Bay Ridge 5th Avenue Business Improvement District (BID). Which was approved and signed by NY Mayor Bloomberg on July 27, 2006. Vice President, Boy Scouts of America—Brooklyn Council Secretary, Colonial Club (Business Club). I served on the board from 2007 to 2009 and from 2010 to 2012 In 2015 I was appointed to the board and is currently serving until year end.
I also served as President of Tanglwood Community from 2018-2020. As Director I previously chaired the Nominating Committee and Human Resources. While Director we completed and revised the Human Resources Guide and job descriptions. With my training and background I feel I am an asset not only to the TLCA Board of Directors but also to our community.
I am seeking to be elected to the TLCA Board of Directors. My wife and I have been homeowners since 2010 and greatly value the many positive attributes of our community. Previously I served on the Board for five years (2013 – 2017) and was elected President in 2015 and 2016. I also had experience as chair of the Public Works Committee from 2012-2018, member of the Budget & Finance Committee from 2011-2018, and am currently a member of the By-laws and Legal Committee as past president. Significant accomplishments during my time on the Board included the replacement of the Chalet, the addition of the Fitness Center and renovation of the Community Center, addition of the Walking Track, and establishment of the road re-paving program. In 2018, I was appointed Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee and with the assistance of the Focus Group completed a report presented to the Board in the spring of 2019 with recommendations to improve TLCA operations and enhance Tanglwood amenities.
Vinny Budd
I am a graduate of the University of Missouri with a BS in Electrical Engineering and was employed by Orange & Rockland Utilities holding various management positions in Systems Operations and Energy Marketing Trading. I served as Chairman of the Pennsylvania Electric Association System Operations and NY Power Pool System Operations Committees. My employment then brought me to the NY Independent System Operations as manager of Inter-Utility Affairs. In that role I coordinated relations with area electric systems in Pennsylvania- New Jersey- Maryland (PJM), New England States (NEPOOL), Ontario Hydro, Hydro Quebec and the Maritime Power Pools. I ended my utility career as Director of Marketing Monitoring, Internal Auditing, Strategic Planning and Enterprise Risk Management. My family members were active parishioners at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Middletown, NY, before moving here, where I served on the School Board, Faith Formation team, the Parish Council, and as Parish Trustee. Before retiring I served 6 years as Parish Manager overseeing maintenance of our 4 buildings and properties. I also served on the Board of Governors of Orange County Golf Club. Tanglwood Lakes is presently experiencing a significant transition with many new owners joining the Community. I am hoping to rejoin the Board to make a contribution in whatever ways would best serve TLCA property owners. I feel that with the variety of my past experiences I can again serve TLCA as a member of the Board of Directors. Thank you for your consideration.
