Statham's Landing

As usual the annual SLMIA elections will be conducted between March and June. This is our planned schedule which may be adjusted slightly as we go forward.

17 March mail forms for self-nomination, with return date on NLT 14 April.  Self-nominations will be for Area Directors, Directors at Large, Committee Chairs and Board Leadership positions. Only elected board members will be considered for Board Leadership positions.

Ballots will be mailed all HOA members in Good Standing on 21 April. Ballots must be completed and turned in by the start of the annual HOA meeting at 6:00 on 15 May.

Members will also be able to nominate/vote online using the HOA website.

The Board Leadership election will be held during the 19 June meeting.

Every year we mail self-nomination forms and ballots to about 460 people. We have never received more than 140 completed ballots. Please encourage your friends and neighbors to participate in our election.

March will be the last issue of the Stroll Stathams Landing.   The company that purchased the company when it put out Stathams Sampler has decided it’s not worth their while to continue.

With that being said, something that will need to be discussed is how to make sure the information shared by the Stroll continues to get to the residents.    I’ve added this to the agenda for the next meeting  (20 March).
