Neighborhood Association for the Old Brook Farm Addition to the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana

THE ELECTION PROCESS...

"The Association shall elect a President and a Secretary-Treasurer and such other officers as it may choose and fix and determine their respective duties and authority." (Quote from Covenants)

"SECTION 2. Election and Term of Office. The officers of the corporation to be elected by the members shall be elected annually by the members at each annual meeting of the members. If the election of officers shall not be held at such meeting, such election shall be held as soon thereafter as conveniently may be. Each officer shall hold office until his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided." (Quote from By-Laws)

Each year the Association Members gather for the Annual Meeting. On the Annual Meeting Agenda is the Election of Officers and Board members. Each year our three Officers are elected for a one year term and one half of the Directors are elected for a two year term. Neither the Covenants nor the By-Laws envoke term limits for any position so Association Members can hold elected position for as long as they are willing to serve and the Membership is willing to elect them.

 

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE...

The Old Brook Farm Board consists of three officers and eight Directors. The Old Brook Farm addition is divided into eight sections. Idealy, it would provide equitable representation if one Director were to be elected from each of the eight sections and the three Officers were to be elected at large. However, a homeowner willing to serve on the Board cannot always be found in each of the sections so our Board does not always reflect equal representation from all areas of the neighborhood.

Any homeowner can be elected to office and/or the Board. If interested in serving on the Board please contact either the President or the Secretary/Treasurer. Addresses and phone numbers for the Board members can be found by choosing the dropdown menu labeled BOARD and then clicking on the Officers and Board selection. The President and the Secretary/Treasurer can be reached via email by choosing the CONTACT US dropdown menu.
