Stepping Up (more news)
I FAXed my interest in running for a Board position to EPM on the 10th, and this morning they phoned me with their response.
EPM told me that they wanted to wait until the Board next met before responding, and apologized for the delay. The Board’s decided that there will be no additional mailing – the deadline had clearly passed – but that my nomination would be accepted from the floor at the annual meeting. Voting is to take place at that time.
I also learned that in addition to the earlier-announced incumbent and myself, there are apparently two more candidates. No, I don’t know who they are, but because of the way our conversation went I believe that one of the two is also an incumbent. (If that’s true, I think it’d be interesting to learn how they missed their own deadline…) But the bottom line is that my original disappointment is tempered somewhat by the additional interest from other homeowners.
I hope that you’ll support me with your vote on November 6th. Thanks, and I’ll see you at the meeting!
Stepping Up
I don’t know about you, but when I saw the Board’s meeting announcement and learned that only one candidate had come forward when two Board seats were up for grabs I was quite disappointed. I know from years of observation that community involvement is kind of low, but there are usually enough candidates to go around – even if reaching quorum is sometimes troublesome.
Anyway, after stewing on it for a day I’ve decided to stop griping and try to do something about it. Yesterday morning I put together a cover letter and resume and FAXed them to EPM. I asked them to acknowledge receipt to my email address but thus far I’ve heard nothing back. So I’m uncertain as to whether my candidacy has been accepted. I suppose I’ll just have to wait and see.
I’ll be attending the annual meeting. I hope to see you there and, if my late application is accepted, that I can count on your vote. Thanks!
