Linda Ewald, Marian Fuchs, Marianne Mann, Elizabeth Gill, Ed Robbins

The Nominating Committee presented four residents for consideration as future members of the Collington Board of Directors at a late afternoon forum: Linda Ewald, Marian Fuchs, Elizabeth Gill, and Ed Robbins. Each spoke briefly about how they saw their potential service.

The final choice for a new resident board member is made by the Board itself. The Collington Board of Directors has three residents who serve on the board, each for a 3 year term renewable once. This year Ken Burton’s term is expiring. Sara Case and Peter Fielding are the other current resident board members.

The Residents Association is charged with identifying residents for selection. At least two residents must be put forward. An election will be held on March 18 during which residents may endorse any or all of the nominees. Those candidates receiving at 50% or more votes will be forwarded for selection.

Members of the Nominating Committee are Marianne Mann, Chair; John Barker, Rita Gardiner, Joyce Garrison, and Don Zelman.
