First, one may, of course, pay dues at the Annual Meeting (personal checks and exact change only, please. Change will not be available at the meeting.). Those that have paid dues will be allowed to run for any open At-Large board seats and/or District seats.
It's important to mention that those households that pay their dues after August 15 will not have their information published in the Rodgers Forge Directory.
Second, if one pays dues and qualifies as a General Member that person may vote. For reasons of equity, only one vote per dues paying household will be counted.
Lastly, the board created several month ago a Nominating Committee, and encouraged residents to contact Mr. Jason Carter (jcarter9@verizon.net) to express an interest in joining the board. As of September 3, 2009, four people have contacted Mr. Carter. If you are interested in joining the board, please contact Mr. Carter before September 9, 2009. Nominations, however, will also be allowed from the floor during the meeting.
Regrettably, some people who sought clarification on these matters did not wait for an official response from the board and started spreading inaccurate information. For its part, the board apologizes for any confusion.
Every resident is encouraged to come to and participate in the Annual Meeting!
Please be sure to bookmark and check this site for official information along with the Rodgers Forge website (www.rodgersforge.org).
Are you saying people can't do nominations from the floor at the meeting as called for in the bylaws?
ReplyDeleteOf course, people may be nominated from the floor during the Annual Meeting. It is encouraged, however, that those people interested in joining the board contact Mr. Carter before the meeting.
ReplyDeleteI will amend the post to address this question.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteLOVE this new blog. Will be referencing this in the future!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a handy resource for accurate, up-to-date information about things happening in and around Rodgers Forge.
Check back often.
I may just be confused but which dues are we referring to? I pay my dues every year when I get the little slip of paper (usually with the directory) to submit with my check. If my memory serves me correctly this usually occurs in the fall and we haven't gotten the directory this year.
