From the Boardroom
Dave Petet, At-Large Board Member
Our most recent Board Meeting was the last for Dwayne Saucier as his 3-year term came to an end. Please join me in thanking Dwayne for 3 years of volunteer service on the LHC and LPOA Boards. Dwayne was a great resource in all matters, but particularly brought incite in the areas of insurance and as a member of the Lakewood Oaks Golf Course. Dwayne, you will be missed at our meetings!
I also want to take a moment to thank two groups within our community; those that volunteer within Lakewood and those that took the time and effort to vote in the recent LHC & LPOA Board of Directors Election.
These two groups have many things in common and plenty of overlap, but specifically they took the time to get involved in Lakewood.
On a personal note, I waited way too long to get involved in my own neighborhood. Our household has always voted, and as a family we even discuss the merits of some candidates versus others during each election for Board members. But for many years, that was about as far as our involvement went.
Those of us that get a chance to serve on the LHC and LPOA Boards thank those of you that took the time to vote. Sadly, and this is normally the case, we only get about a 30% turnout of Lakewood homes voting in these elections.
30%... that’s not really very good and it’s potentially not representative of Lakewood.
Is this a big deal? Well, it depends. Our Board of Directors elections are one of the ways you can directly influence what is happening in your neighborhood. You can also have an impact by volunteering for one or more of the many committees and groups within Lakewood. All of these group have a large influence on our neighborhood.
If you are involved and volunteering in our neighborhood, thank you. If you diligently vote in our elections and take part in the occasional polls, thank you. If you are not, then you a missing out on a great opportunity to help shape the community.
