SECRETARY, ORONOQUE VILLAGE CONDOMINIUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS: 2016-PRESENT

As an Executive Officer on the OVCA Board, I work closely with the entire Board and the Executive Director in the areas of planning and problem solving. Responsible for establishing agendas for the OVCA Board meetings with the Executive Director, officers and input from the District Representatives and Standing Committee Chairs. Ensure that Notification of Meeting is made and review the minutes of the OVCA meetings prior to presenting them to the Board for acceptance.

I have led by example and am action oriented and produce results. I am dedicated to the well thought out governing process that has served this Association and have a deep commit-ment to a healthy, happy and successfully functioning Oronoque Village. My time has been devoted to the following:

Chair, By-Laws Revision Committee

Chaired the By-Laws Revision Committee to incorporate and help expedite the Board’s review of the proposed revisions. Completed the project under a very tight time constraint to present the By-Laws to Unit Owners before September 2016. That goal was achieved.

Led and worked with the By-Laws Revision Committee, implementing statutory and other changes to the By-Laws in 2019. Approved June 2019 by the Association’s Unit Owners.
