Board Meetings and Elections
Board Meetings
The Board typically meets 11 months out of the year (except December). The meetings usually occur the 1st Monday of the month and are located at a Board member's condo. The Board invites homeowners to attend meetings at 7pm. Please double check the latest minutes for an exact date, time, and location, as they are subject to change, due to possible scheduling conflicts. If you have a specific concern to address with the Board, please make that clear, as others sometimes just attend the meeting to participate without a specific concern on their mind.
Annual Meetings
The Annual Meeting occurs in October. At this meeting, the next year's budget is presented, and the new Board members are elected. Notices will be sent out to each resident, including a call for candidates, along with meeting and voting information.
Elections
If you would like to run for a seat on the Shaker Farms Board of Directors, when you recieve the call for candidates, please send in a brief biography. This biography should include your name, building and unit number, and why you would like to serve on the Shaker Farms Board. The due date will be listed on the notice, and any bios submitted after that due date will not be accepted. The bios of those running will then be mailed to homeowners, along with a proxy. If you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting for elections, you may give your proxy to another homeowner (including a Board member) with your signature. You may either complete the form with your personal votes (up to five people), or let the other owner chose who to vote for in your stead. Only one ballot (or proxy) is allowed per unit, and it must a person named on the homeowner's title. Otherwise, your vote is not valid.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask a Board member or the property manager for clarifications.
