Lakewood Committees

Our volunteer-based committees are vital to maintaining our healthy and vibrant community.

Thank you to the hundreds of residents who have volunteered their time and expertise to the benefit of Lakewood!

The purposes of our Committees are as follows:

- To provide an opportunity for members to participate in the overall betterment of their community.
- To provide an avenue of open communication between members, their General Manager and Board of Directors.
- To accept specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to them by the Board and to prepare recommendations for improvement.

There are four (4) kinds of LPOA committees:

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Get Selected to Serve On a Committee?

Per our Bylaws and Policies, the Staff does not manage committee recruitment, and membership is determined by the committees directly.

While applications are available all year round, committees accept new members at varying times throughout the year, based on availability in their committees. Committees are independently responsible for approving their own new members. All committees are different; some have room for many (Activities Committee), and others have a limited number of spots available. Most committee members serve in 1 or 3 year terms, based on their policies.

When Will Committees Seek New Members?

When committee positions are available, announcements will be made in the LPOA Monday EBlasts, on our social media, and in our Press Release page. If you have a specific inquiry about an existing committee, you are always encouraged to contact a Chairperson directly to learn more about their current needs on the committee. Please look below to learn about the committee you’re interested in.

Submitting a Committee Interest Form

In order to provide written interest in serving on a committee, submit a Committee Interest Form. Once a form has been completed, the staff will receive the form, and then immediately forward the Interest Form to the appropriate Committee Chairperson. The Chairperson will be responsible for being in touch with potential members. Depending on the time of year, they may or may not be seeking new members.

Thank you so much for your interest, please feel free to contact Sean Bachtel at the Community Services office, sean@lpoa.com, for any other questions.

How Are Committee Openings Announced?

Committee openings are posted through the LPOA Eblasts and through our Facebook. We will only receive Committee Applications when there is an active Committee opening.
