From the Boardroom

Kathleen Heydon, Board President

On April 5, 2022 Lakewood honored 65 volunteers and their guests, serving on 11 Standing committees. Chef Molly and her staff prepared an outstanding dinner complete with beautiful tables and attentive servers. But the best part for me was to see the hugs, handshakes, and hear the chatter and laughter....it was amazing to all be together again.

All Committees of the Association, whether they are of a business or social nature are considered a vital resource to LPOA. The purpose of these committees is to give an opportunity for residents to participate in the overall betterment of Lakewood, to provide an avenue of communication between residents, the General Manager, and the Board of Directors, to accept specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to them by the Board and to prepare recommendations for improvement.

There are four kinds of committees which include Administrative, Standing Advisory, Parcel, and Ad Hoc Advisory.

Administrative includes ARB/ARC, Appeals, Executive, and Election Committee. These committees follow our Covenants, Conditions Restrictions, and By-Laws. They are ongoing and permanent.

Standing Advisory Committees were established for a specific service and purpose. They include the following: Insurance, Finance, Facilities Development (FDC), Activities, Lake Use, Construction Materials Standards, and Food and Beverage.

The Parcel Committees which include Multi-family and Maintenance provided parcels are responsible for the maintenance and improvements of their Parcel.

Ad Hoc Advisory is appointed by the board for a specific project or task of a non-recurring nature.

To get a more in-depth understanding of each committee please go to www. lpoa.com/Documents/Governing Documents/Policies/Policy #3. It’s a 7-page document that gives you a more in-depth description and duties of each committee.

If you have any interest in a committee, please go to the LPOA office, request a Committee Interest form, fill it out and Nichole will make sure it is shared with the Committee chair. The committees choose their members.

Our committees fulfill essential roles within our community and help the board accomplish the association’s goals effectively and efficiently.

Your Board of Directors would like to say to those who dedicated selflessly their time and talents, thank you for making Lakewood a better place.

Wow, summer is almost here, on May 28 the pools will open, weather permitting and it’s also National Hamburger Day! Enjoy your summer and all your community has to offer.
