For the benefit of the residents of CVWPB

A few weeks ago, I asked that Association Boards update their Officer, Delegate and CERT contact Report Forms. The response has been pretty good, however I have a MAJOR CONCERN with not only the forms handed in, but with some of the ones that have been in the files for some time.

Many associations are not designating an alternate delegate. This means that if the Delegate (usually the President) is sick, has an appointment, is a snowbird and is not here 6 months out of the year or not available for any reason, then the Association IS NOT REPRESENTED when it comes to Century Village Business at the Delegate Assembly Meetings. 

What does this mean to YOU, the owners at Century Village? It means YOU, the residents, will have monies spent on things you may not want or agree with. By-laws can be changed and you will have nothing to say about it afterwards. Services can be placed or taken away without your say. Expenses could mean major increases in your monthly fees, not only with your association, but with WPRF as well. The delegates are the final say in many of the services and ammenaties you receive and only you, the owners through you delegate have a say in what happens in Century Village.

Your delegate is usually your President, and sorry to say, some (not all) seem to believe that if they are the only delegate, they have all the power. You as an owner, have the right to demand representation. The Alternate can be another officer (it usually is) or it can be any other owner in the association. Your association can have as many alternates as it thinks are necessary, but I would suggest that at least two are full time residents of their association. 

I implore each and every Resident in the village to ensure that YOUR Association is represnted at each and EVERY Delegate Assembly meeting. HAVE YOUR BOARD DESIGNATE AN ALTERNATE!
