VCA Asking Residents To Sign Up To Receive Notices Electronically

  • February 2025
  • By Verandah

At this time 1,160 homeowners in Verandah have consented to receive meeting notices and to vote on issues electronically. This means 400 +/- homeowners have not completed the form that allows them to get materials electronically which requires the office to use the Post Office. The last time the office had to mail information to these remaining homeowners it cost the VCA $1,278. Over a 12-month period the cost of these mailings can exceed $7,000.

Why consent? – First, it offers you unparalleled convenience, allowing you to receive notices and to vote from anywhere at any time. It also eliminates the need to complete a paper ballot or come to the office in person. Second, the VCA staff can do things other than preparing and distributing mailings. Finally, electronic voting is faster and more efficient, with instant tallying and distribution of results. Since all of this is paid for with your VCA dues, it only makes sense to consent to receiving materials electronically. By consenting to receiving electronic notices and voting, you contribute to a more efficient, effective, and engaged Verandah community.

What do I need to do? – Registering with the VCA to receive notices and to vote electronically is simple and can be accomplished in two ways:

  1. Option #1 – come into the office and staff will help you complete the form in a few minutes.
  2. Option #2 – Click on this Download Consent Form to access the VCA consent form. You can then print the form and complete it. You may mail the form to the office or scan it and send the form to [email protected].

We hope you will take a moment to consent to receiving notices and to voting electronically. Please call Deanna Busbin in the office at 239-694-6358 if you have any questions or need help. Thank you.
