A Message from the Lake Wynonah Board of Directors
Thank you to the LWPOA members who participated in our Board Vacancy Survey. The survey closed April 2, 2021. Results were calculated and distributed to the LWPOA Directors on Monday, April 5, 2021. Our first goal was to review the results for Question 1 and Question 2 that focused on filling the current Director vacancy.
Question 1 asked:
Do you believe Board vacancies should be filled by choosing from the remaining candidates from the last election or should other candidates be considered?
Result:
54.98% responded to choose from remaining, runner up candidates.
28.56% responded to consider both options.
16.45% responded to consider other candidates.
Question 2 asked:
Should the next runner up automatically be appointed, or should the membership have a voice, possibly using survey monkey?
Result:
51.72% responded to choose the 4th runner up from the last election.
37.07 responded to hold a Membership vote.
11.21% responded not to fill the vacancy; wait for next election.
Based on the survey the Board of Directors is pleased to inform our Members and Residents, that member Rebekah Tolar, the 4th place runner up from the August, 2020 election has been appointed and graciously accepted the open Director seat and will join the LWPOA Board of Directors at the April 12, 2021 Board Workshop. The vote to approve Ms.Tolar was held, via email, on April 5, 2021 and was unanimous. It should also be noted according to the LWPOA Bylaws Ms.Tolar will fill the Board position until the LWPOA Board election held in August, 2021.
Full survey results will be made available after the April 12th workshop. The Directors will continue to review results, discuss next steps and prepare a plan for filling Director vacancies for future Boards.
Thank you again for your participation, and we look forward to working together, with our Members to build a better Lake Wynonah community for all.
Welcome Rebekah!

Members,
The recent LWPOA Board vacancy has again highlighted that the LWPOA has no consistent process to replace directors other than that, per the by-laws, Article IV, Section 9: “Vacancies: Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors and Directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of Directors shall be filled by the Board of Directors. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve until the next election of the Board of Directors.” It should be noted that the next election will be held in August, 2021.
The BOD recognizes that there have been several methods considered to replace Directors over the years and have not agreed on the best process to replace the current vacancy. However, there is agreement that we value Member input in developing a fair process for replacing Directors. For that reason, we are requesting your immediate feedback. The survey has been emailed to Members with a registered email on file with the Office. If you do not have an email on file, please contact the Office to receive a copy of the survey.
If you have received more than one request to complete the survey we ask that only one survey per member household be completed. Please respond to the survey below by April 2, 2021. Thank you in advance for your prompt participation and feedback.

The community will be getting new Enter and Exit signs at the Route 183 main entrance along with new signs for both sides of the drive approaching the Security gate. The scope of work will be some assembly, staining, digging post holes and installing the signs. Our goal is to have them installed in April.
