Positive Change... A New Advisory Committee

CORRECTION:I was wrong in thinking that Officer's / Director's terms can expire without an election or successor. ARS 10-3805.E says, "Despite the expiration of a director's term, a director shall continue to hold office until the director's successor is elected, designated or appointed and qualifies, until the director's resignation or removal or until there is a decrease in the number of directors."

Any previous insistence by me that the board could not establish a quorum of directors having expired terms was wrong per ARS 10 which applies to corporations and associations.

And so, how do we bring about positive change, without being able to make a quorum of the members? Keep in mind that it pains me to say that we are "unable to make a quorum of the board", because I believe we can if the Association proactively distributed absentee ballots - until that happens, then the assumption is that we cannot without positive change.

Well, positive change has already come about with the establishment of the Advisory Committee. Legally established on May 18, 2012 and led by Director Chris Guiles, the group has already saved the Association tens of thousands of dollars on a new landscaping contract. With that they have proposed new ideas and changes that will beautify the community and hopefully invigorate participation in the community.

Members of the Advisory Committee include: Allen Dodson, Delores Ortega, Steve Feniello, and Chris Gillies (Director). Much thanks and hope to these three individuals for helping to bring about positive change.
