Nominations are now open for the Lake Holiday Board of Directors. Three (3) vacancies will be filled. All three (3) are for three-year terms. There are always important issues to be addressed within our community, and each of us should consider how we can contribute best. We need people on the Board who have a diversity of experience that can be applied to our community in order to continue to make it a desirable place to live. Candidates should have the ability to work with a diverse group of people to move the community forward while representing the needs of all members.
The LHCC Board meets once a month and more often as required. Board members generally work on specific projects for the community, long-range planning, creating the budget, and determining where funds will be spent in the future to improve our community. If you believe that you can help, we’d like to see you run for one of the vacancies on the Board.
