  June 21, 2011

Nominations are in for your new 2011/2012 SCHA Board of Directors.  Thanks to all who submitted  nominations and especially those who have agreed to serve this great neighborhood.  The Election Committee laid out a plan for election of the new board which included a nomination period, campaign period and election period each lasting two weeks.  The schedule was published in the last SCHA Newsletter and posted on our web site.  The nomination period ended on Saturday, June 18.  Section VIII of our Articles of Incorporation state (paraphrased) that the Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of three and maximum of five members.  By virtue of this article and the fact that we have four nominees, there is no need for an election.  The following four nominees will comprise our new Board of Directors effective after our annual meeting on July 27.  At some point after this meeting and at the convenience of the new board, they will caucus among themselves and select an executive committee.  The executive committee includes President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer.  Congratulations to the following nominees who are now our new board-elect.

  1st Nominee:  Ms. Ina J Dugas, 17532 Martin Lake Drive

 2nd Nominee:  Mr. Pern  Lundell, 18304 Oak Lane Avenue               

 3rd Nominee:  Mr. Dwayne Walker, 3101 White Lane Dr.

 4th Nominee:  Mr. Ferrell Spruell, 18016 Shadow Creek
