Be a Director of the CLPOC Board

NOW IS THE TIME when the Canadian Lakes Property Owners Corporation (CLPOC) begins the nomination process for new board directors. Each year, three board members are elected to a three-year term. Terms run with the calendar year, starting January 1. Directors conduct the business of the CLPOC in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. Directors are charged with performing activities to promote, enhance, and improve the value of CLPOC membership. Directors set the budget and financial plans, approve community architectural designs and strategic plans for the CLPOC. Each director shall attend one board workshop per month, one board meeting a month and participate in at least one board committee that meets monthly in most cases. Attendance is encouraged at all times, either in person or remotely.

This year there will be significant changes in the process and format. We hope these changes will make the process more interactive with the membership. We believe these changes will bring more members to “Meet the Candidates” in person and online. If you’re a member in good standing and are considering being a CLPOC Board Director, a nomination petition must be obtained from the CLPOC office and completed by you. The petition must be returned to the Nominating Committee by 4 p.m. on August 31, 2022. You are required to obtain at least ten signatures of members in good standing on the petition and provide a 100 word or less biography. This should give a brief description of your reasons for running and/or qualifications to become a Board

Director. After your nomination is cleared and approved for the ballot, four questions will be sent to you for answering. This must be done in 450 words or less for all three questions. These questions along with the 100-word bio will be published in The Canadian Laker for the membership to read. Your biography and your response to the four questions must be emailed to the Nominating Committee in Word format. This bio and the response to the questions will also be included in the member’s ballot. A digital photo will be needed for this publication as well. The deadline for these materials is September 3, 2022.

The Meet the Candidates forum will be held after the board meeting on September 24. At this time, you will be asked questions created by the committee, from the members in attendance, and those submitted to the committee by September 9, 2022. No recorded statements will be accepted. Members submitting questions, whether in advance or in person, must be members in good standing and must provide their name and lot number. These questions can be for an individual candidate or to the entire panel of candidates. This session will be live on the members website and saved for later viewing.

All questions related to the nominating process should be directed to the Nominating Committee at clpocnominating@gmail.com.
