Why apply for the Board of Directors?
To some, the LPOA and LHC Board of Directors may still be a mystifying group within the governance of the HOA. To put it simply, the Board of Directors are responsible for working collaboratively to make decisions regarding financial, infrastructure and maintenance matters for LPOA (Lakewood Property Owners Association) and LHC (Lakewood Holding Company).
Board members represent a wide range of ages, professional and personal experience, lifestyles, and outside interests. But they share a common thread—appreciation for Lakewood and a commitment to make thoughtful, open-minded decisions in the best interest of all homeowners. It is at times a demanding position that requires thick skin, an open mind, honesty, and above all else a willingness to learn. It takes a significant time commitment to study the issues and numbers, engage with the community, and work with a diverse team.
But the fruits of those efforts are great. It can translate directly into a more efficient and sustainable governance of the HOA, promote the longevity and continual investment into the neighborhood’s amenities and property values, and most of all, keep Lakewood thriving and moving forward with each new generation.
If these sound like rewarding outcomes to you (and they should!) and you have skills or experience you can offer to the Board, please pick up a petition for candidacy soon! Any LPOA member in good standing who is interested in running for one of the three open Board of Directors seats may apply. They are available for pick up at the LPOA Offices at 651 NE St. Andrew’s Cir, and must be turned in with the minimum amount of petition signatures (20 signatures by LPOA members in good standing.) by 5:00 PM on March 6, 2024.
If you have any questions regarding the process, please reach out to the Administrative Assistant, Nichole, at (816)-541-2447.
