The SIA Board of Directors encourages participation in the association
The SIA Board of Directors Is excited by renewed interest of members to volunteer for service on the board and association committees Unlike the annual election for the Board of Directors in the fall when all SIA members have the opportunity to vote, SIA By-Laws require an opening on the Board is filled through an appointment by the Board Directors:
In the event of a vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason whatsoever, the remaining directors shall appoint a member to serve as director for the unexpired term. (Article IV Section 2)
When a vacancy occurred on the Board earlier this year, Steve Melchiori was appointed to fill this opening in an unanimous vote of the Board of Directors at the Executive Session of the Board on February 21, 2018.

Re: 2018 Nominating Process for SIA Board of Directors &
Call for Nominations
Each November, the SIA membership elects a Board of Directors to represent them on matters concerning the Summerplace community. This year’s meeting and election of members of the SIA Board of Directors will be Saturday, November 17, 2018.
I have been asked to chair the Nominating Committee for the SIA Board of Directors for 2018. I will serve alongside committee members Jean Etzel, Carol Glade, Mary Kirby, Lee Anne Phillips and Jim Chalkley, who have all agreed to be on the 2018 Nominating Committee.
All members of the association are eligible to serve on the board of directors, and a member may nominate himself or herself as a candidate for the board with the following exceptions:
- A person who is delinquent in the payment of any fee, fine, or other monetary obligation to the association on the day that he or she could last nominate himself or herself or be nominated for the board may not seek election to the board, and his or her name shall not be listed on the ballot.
- A person who has been convicted of any felony in this state or in a United States District or Territorial Court, or has been convicted of any offense in another jurisdiction which would be considered a felony if committed in this state, may not seek election to the board and is not eligible for board membership unless such felon’s civil rights have been restored for at least 5 years as of the date on which such person seeks election to the board.
I encourage SIA members to contact me, or any member of the Nominating Committee, if they would like to serve on the Board or nominate a neighbor.
Additionally, each nominee for the SIA Board should complete the enclosed Candidate Information Form and submit this to the Nominating Committee for consideration of their candidacy.
Nominations and completed Candidate Information Forms should be sent to the committee no later than August 15, 2018.
On September 15, 2018, the Nominating Committee will submit a slate of eligible names for this year’s voting ballot. We encourage your participation and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you and we hope to hear from you with nominations.
