VCA GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE SEEKS MEMBERS
The Verandah Community Association (VCA) Board of Directors is seeking volunteers from the community to serve on the Governance Committee. The Committee will be composed of two VCA Board members and three Verandah homeowners.
Earlier this year, the Verandah Community Association established the Governance Committee, which will undertake the revision of the community’s Governing Documents. These documents include the Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCCR), Bylaws, Rules and Regulations and various amendments which have been approved over the past twenty-plus years. (The Governance Committee is separate and apart from the Verandah Club, which is a Florida corporation and has its own operating documents.)
The purpose of the Committee is to review and recommend revisions that comply with current statutes, rules and regulations at the local, State and Federal levels. It will also ensure our documents conform to changes which have occurred in the community over the past twenty years. This is an important undertaking, and we expect it will take 18 months to 2 years to complete. The Committee will work closely with the Association’s legal counsel. These revised documents will ultimately require approval by a large percentage of Verandah residents.
In addition to revising Governing Documents, the Committee will also serve as a resource to the Board of Directors, staff and other Board Committees when guidance on a governance issue or future documents is needed. It is expected that once the revision of Governing Documents is completed, the time commitment will be substantially reduced.
Although the qualifications to serve on the Committee are flexible, it is important that anyone interested in serving be prepared to devote considerable time to regular meetings, be comfortable working as part of a group, have life experiences which exposed them to detailed writing and analysis, and have some experience with living in a community which has a Homeowners Association.
Anyone who is interested in serving on the Governance Committee should contact VCA General Manager Michele Boose by calling (239) 694- 6358 or sending an email to her at [email protected].
