Recently, there has been some misinformation passed to our property owners regarding the topic of Board of Director elections. CSA staff would like to take a moment to clarify the process related to our Board of Directors Elections.

The CSA and ASPPPO Board of Directors elections processes are outlined in their by-laws. The by-laws of both CSA and ASPPPO set out specific dates, timelines and posting requirements related to the process.

Click here  to view the Community Services Associates Inc. By-Laws. (See Article V Section 2 & 3 on pages 8-10)

Click here to view the Association of Sea Pines Plantation Property Owners By-Laws. (See Article VII on pages 6 & 7)

Additional Clarification on the process:

Prior to the annual meeting of the Boards of CSA and ASPPPO, which occurs in May of each year, a nominating committee is established by both boards independently. These nominating committees are comprised of members of those Boards.

At the annual meeting solicitations for the upcoming Board of Directors election are announced to the community. We communicate these seat openings on both boards through our Sea Pines Community Newsletter, the SeaPinesLiving.com website as well as our facebook page and at various community meetings.

Property owners interested in submitting an application to be considered by the 
nominating committees of CSA and ASPPPO had until August 15th to turn in their applications. The nominating committees of CSA and ASPPPO reviewed those candidates and made a recommendation to support candidates for the ballots.

In addition to those nominated by the Nominating Committees of CSA and ASPPPO, persons may be nominated by petition.

The following requirements of the petition process are:
  1. For CSA- Petition to be signed by 50 valid residential property owners in good standing. For ASPPPO- Petition to be signed by 50 valid ASPPPO Members in good standing.
  2. The candidate has to be willing and able to serve.
  3. Both CSA and ASPPPO By-laws require the petition to reach said Nominating Committee by October 1st, 2017.

Nomination by petition forms may be picked up at the CSA Admin Building 175 Greenwood Dr. or are available online below.
