Election Notice
- Hello Riverwalk Property Owners:
- Per our By-Laws, we are running an election for five open Board of Director seats. Three of these seats carry a one year term through October 2025, and two seats carry a two year term through October 2026.
- The Board of Directors will continue the tradition of mail-in ballot voting using the same process as the elction in October of 2023. From the By-Laws 2.6: Voting rights. There shall be one person with respect to each lot ownership who shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of the owners (the “Voting Member”). The Voting Member may be the Owner or one of the group composed of all the Owners of a lot or maybe some other person designated by such Owner(s) to act as a proxy on his or their behalf and who need not be an Owner. Each Owner or group of Owners shall be entitled to one vote for each lot owned provided all Association dues are current. No votes allocated to a lot or lots owned by the Association may be cast.
- We are currently seeking volunteers for our election committee (3-5 indiviuals) to work with our current HOA Board to identify residents interested in running for one of these five seats. The current HOA Board remains committed to providing the training necessary for future board members to be knowledgeable and successful in their future roles.
- The election committee will be responsible for:
- Identifying residents that would make good candidates for the HOA and vetting them.
- Publicizing important timelines and dates leading up to the election.
- Running a "Meet the Candidate Evening" via Zoom to introduce individuals running for Board positions to the community and provide an opportunity for them to answer questions about their goals and positions on relevant topics.
- Identifying a resident Moderator for the Meet the Candidate Evening.
- Creating a team of tellers (three community members not on the board or running for the board) for official counting of the ballots from the election. Candidates
- With the help of our election committee we have four candidates who have agreed to run for an open position. It is important to allow each candidate to have an opportunity to share their perspective and reasons for wanting to join the board, so we will be hosting a meet the candidates night at the pavillion and via Zoom on September 13th, 2022 at 7:00 pm. You can find the details for the zoom meeting on the Riverwalk website, as well as the Facebook HOA site. (If you are interested in joining the HOA Facebook site, please reach out to Jen Tolbert via Facebook or email. jentolbert@live.com.
- In order to ensure that we are abiding by official election rules, there will be three community members (referred to as tellers below) who will be responsible for the official counting of ballots. These tellers are not on the board, are not people running for the board, but are community members who have volunteered their time to help.
