Daniel Rossi
Acting Board President
I would like to start my first President’s message by posting a letter from Christine Moffett.
From Christine:
“It would have been eight years ago this coming August that the Property Owners of Woodhaven elected me to the Board. It was a first to tie with another elected member, and the tie was with Mike Weinstein. Mike and I flipped a coin for who would be the 4-year term Board member. My call of “heads” gave me the 4-year term.
Little did I know what a coin toss would entail in my journey as a Board Member of Woodhaven Lakes. I knew it was not going to be easy being a Board Member; there was so much to learn even though I had been on the Communications Committee for years, and learn I did.
I learned…
- Be humble because if you’re not, you will be quickly reminded that your ego means nothing to Property Owners.
- Be fair; even when you want to bend the rules, they are there for a reason. The rules are there for all 6,000 plus Property Owners.
- Be a good listener because there’s a lot to Woodhaven, and just when you think you know something, Jeff and the Management Team quickly bring you back to reality. Eight years of budget workshops are a true test for listening skills. You have earned a ticket to heaven for all who participate in this workshop!
- Be trusting of the collective intelligence of the Board Members the Property Owners voted in. They are the ultimate volunteers who selflessly put their name, character, and commitment out for all of Woodhaven to see.
I will miss you all more than you know, and I have learned these things from all of you. You have helped me grow as a person. My resignation closes this chapter of my life so I can focus more time on my family. To my Woodhaven family, thank you all for being one of the best things to happen in my life!”
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Staff, and Property Owners, I would like to thank Christine for all her years of service to Woodhaven and for the great job she has done. We have learned so much from her.
I want to reference the following article from Woodhaven’s By-Laws in regards to myself becoming Acting President for the Association.
Article IX OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES OF THE ASSOCIATION
Section 1. Officers. The officers of the Association shall be the President, one or more Vice Presidents, the Secretary, the Treasurer, and Assistant Secretary, and such other officers and assistant officers as the Board may from time to time elect. Officers shall serve at the will of the Board. Any two (2) or more offices may be held by the same person, except the offices of the President and Secretary. Officers shall be Owners of the Association.
b. Vice President. In the absence of the President, or in the event of his inability or refusal to act, the Vice President is empowered to act and shall thereupon be vested with the powers and duties of the President. In the event that there is more than one Vice President, the Board shall establish the order in which they serve.
As Vice President, I have taken on the duties of the President until the first Board Meeting after the Board of Director Election in August, where the Board will vote in their new officers. I will do my best to serve our Owners during this time. Have a great camping season! Don’t forget to vote in August!
Daniel Rossi,
Acting Board of Directors President
