Neighbors,

In July of 2014 the Almond Glen Owners Association, INC will hold it’s Annual Meeting of the Membership.  During this meeting the 2013-2014 Board of Directors will step down and the 2014-2015 Board of Directors will be elected.

In an effort to prepare for that election we would like to begin collecting the names of persons interested in running.  The names of persons interested in running for the 2014-2015 board will be listed on the HOA website (www.almondglenhoa.org) so that neighbors can make an informed decision in July.

Interested persons should email the following information to: almondglenhoa@gmail.com so that you can be added to the list of candidates.  The board of directors will act as a nominating committee and will vote to nominate anyone who is qualified to act as a member of the board of directors and requests to be added to the candidate list.  Persons who would like to nominate someone for election should encourage that person to contact us asap.  Again, ALL qualified persons will be nominated and added to the candidate list.  Anyone not nominated will be contacted and given an explanation as to why they are not being nominated.

Candidates will be added to the list in the order which the board receives the candidates information.  Candidates are encouraged, but not required, to provide a small headshot style photo (passport photo) to be placed beside their information on the website.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
