Dear Shareholders,
If you are interested in running for the board for a one-year term, click on "Useful Forms" on the left, and then click on "Board Committee Membership Form.pdf". Print out fill out and leave the form on the box on the super's workshop door, OR e-mail your responses to the questions on the form, OR send a scan of the form to board@616east18.com.
Board membership is an awesome responsibility. It demands a time commitment that goes beyond the monthly board meetings. It requires time for researching building projects, coordinating with Management and vendors, working with the Super and building staff, working with the other board members, and being available for residents' suggestions and complaints. In return, if affords you oversight over the building's operation, budget, and projects, which can be as rewarding as it is time-consuming.
Many of you have expressed interest in participating in the operation of our building, but may not have the time to commit to full board membership. For you, we are formalizing our committee structure, and there are currently three committees anticipated for 2009-2010.
Please click on "committee charters" on the left side of this page to see a list of our committees, their jurisdictions and responsibilities. Then fill out the committee section of the above-mentioned form to let us know you are interested. Committee chairpeople will be selected by the committee members.
Our 2009-2010 committees will be: "Web-Site Committee," "Laundry Committee," and "Grounds/Garden (and Pot-Luck) Committee." We hope to encourage involvement in our building's operation in the coming 2009-2010 term by all of our interested shareholders. If you have questions about what it's like to serve on the board, please feel free to e-mail your questions to board@616east18.com or approach any one of the three of us in person if you see us in the building. Thank you for making our building a great place to live!
Samuel, Andrew & Lance
