The three incumbents (Mary Ferguson, Sue Ellen Parrott, and Sharlene Shugarman) received the most votes and were elected to three-year terms.
I would like to thank Sabine Dohrn who served on the board for six years before retiring at the end of her term this month. She will be missed by all of us who worked with her during her tenure. Notable achievements include an extended period on the ACC and her work as the Snow Removal chair where she negotiated contract for snow removal and oversaw and coordinated the snow removal work.
Three residents at the meeting (Martin Aliaga, Rita Carvajal, and James Ulrich) volunteered to stand for election. All three were elected to fill the vacated terms of the three former board members.
The IFA website contains the names, email addresses, and expiration of the terms of all board members updated with the results from the election. Click on the link labeled "Board Members".
Note that with the exception of the three board veterans (Sharlene Shugarman, Elliot Postow, and myself - each with 5 or more years on the board), the remaining six board members have spent two years or less on the board. This is likely to lead to many new and innovative ideas from the newcomers tempered by the experience of the veteran board members.
I also like the mix of different stages of life among the board members, which should be an accurate proxy for the the interests and age distribution within the community. We have board members who range in age from people who are retired to people with very young children. This should help give the board a perspective on issues that reflects the perspective of the community at large.
Harvey,
