PRESIDENT’S PEN Dear Friends, Recently we have had a number of resignations of both Building Representatives and Alternate Building Representatives for various reasons. This is a Michele concerning trend because the Compton, Building Representative and Board Zone Representative structure President is vital to our community. This two-way communication between staff and residents benefits everyone. But there seems to be some confusion about the role of the Building Representative with over-reaching expectations both by the residents of the building and by the Building Representatives themselves. Unfortunately, some of these resignations are due to inappropriate behavior of other residents in-person, on the phone or in emails. Some of the contacts have also been at inappropriate times, even in the middle of the night. Please remember these representatives are volunteers. They usually enthusiastically agree to take on this job, but over time can get worn down by repeated unpleasant contacts. I don’t have the space here to go into the duties of the Building Representatives but there are several excellent places to get that information. One is the Building Representative training sessions that Donna Sanford and Roni Reynolds offer as the co-chairs of the Building Representative Zone Committee (BRZC). Another is Donuts with Donna that offers all residents an informal setting to ask questions. And, the Building Representative and Zone Representative meetings are open to all PRESIDENT'S PEN continued on page 4
