Your Unit Account Balance
Each unit has a Unit Account through the Council Service Center. The  Committee Chairman is automatically an authorized user of the account, and can further delegate authority to others. This time of year, we get numerous requests for copies of the Unit Account statements. Statements are sent to the Committee Chairman on a quarterly basis, with annual statements scheduled to be sent within the next week. Thank you for your patience as we transition staff and systems.
