Fall Membership Meeting and FIPPOA Elections
On Saturday, September 17th, FIPPOA will hold its Fall Election and Community Meeting. There are four members running for four board positions, each to serve a 4-year term. They are Alan Brodherson, Greg Henniger, Andrew Kirtzman, and Henry Robin.
After sixteen years of service, Jim Vandernoth has decided not to seek another term on the bord. Over the years, Jim has become synonymous with our harbor and marina. Working closely with boaters and staff, he has helped the Pines Marina reach the point where it now operates at full capacity with a waitlist for slip rentals. Jim has graciously agreed to continue overseeing the harbor’s weekend activities including tabling and ticket sales. Jim is a dear friend, and we will all miss him on the board, yet welcome his continued stewardship of the harbor.
In addition to the four board seats, this year we will also be electing four executive officers, each to serve 2-year terms. Allan Baum is running for re-election as our Vice President, as is Eric Sawyer our Treasurer. I will be seeking the privilege of serving a second term as your President. And current board members Alan Brodherson and Russell Saray are each seeking to become our next Secretary.
I would like to extend a special appreciation to our current Secretary, Gary Clinton, who agreed one year ago to step into the vacant position until the community could fill it through an election. Gary’s sound judgment and strategic thinking have been an invaluable contribution to our weekly Executive Committee meetings. I will miss his sage wisdom while still knowing that he is always a phone call or visit away. In his last official duty as our Secretary, Gary is overseeing this year’s election.
Here are the bios of the candidates for your review.
If you are a voting FIPPOA member, you should have already received your ballot at the address in your member profile. If you are not a FIPPOA member, you can join by clicking here, and will have only the option of voting at the meeting. If you already are a member and do not vote by mail, you may cast your ballot at the meeting.
After the election, we will conduct community business including updates on the many exciting projects that are now taking place. All members of the community are welcome to attend – property owners, renters, boaters, workers, anyone with an interest in and love for the Pines.
