W O O D B R I D G E Woodbridge Finance Committee By Don St. Lawrence
T
he Finance Committee is an advisory committee consisting of three to five residents appointed by the board to serve for threeyear terms. These terms are staggered to avoid losing a majority of members at one time. The committee meets monthly, except for December, with the operations manager and a financial representative from the management company to review the prior month’s financial performance of the association against the approved budget. These meetings are open to residents on an observation basis; committee members can only discuss association financial matters with members of the board. The committee reviews the proposed annual budget, the current reserve
fund investment position and any other matter requested by the board, making only recommendations to the board. The current three residents sitting on the Finance Committee, with their abbreviated autobiographies, are:
Terry Hickey I received a BS and MS from Boston University and served four years in the U.S. Air Force, which included a year in Vietnam. I worked 38 years with non-profit organizations in various management positions (CEO, COO, CFO). My wife and I moved to Woodbridge in March 2011. I have also served on the Property & Grounds Committee.
Jacob Lewis, Chair My wife and I retired to Woodbridge by Del Webb after 40+ years of successful financial management in the healthcare industry. I wanted to get involved in our community and applied to serve on the Finance Committee to share my experience. My educational background includes undergraduate degrees in Accounting and Finance from the University of Arizona as well as an MBA from the University of Florida. I further participate in the community as a Woodbridge Silver Slugger softball player and in Men of Woodbridge, Veterans of Woodbridge and Wine 101. Personally, I enjoy taking landscape photographs, drinking a glass of great wine and traveling with my wife, Linda.
