Sharon Dodge, President of the Venetia Board of Directors, responds here to a recent post titled Election Procedures: Facts and Questions
Nothing hinders or challenges a small Board of Directors more than the sudden resignation of one of its Directors mid-term. An immediate void disrupts the team and leaves a big job no longer being done.
For this reason, both the serving residential director and the commercial director made the unanimous decision to appoint Loretta Alkalay to the Board of Directors, to serve as Vice-President for the remainder of the term.
Alkalay is an attorney with countless years of organizational management experience who has long served as a volunteer at the Venetia. She has a strong willingness to serve, and is, in short, an excellent person for the job. Everyone, even those who question the appointment on principle, agree that she is a great choice.
Also, because of the exceptional work load of the Board, we have appointed a new, non-voting, Advisory Board member to our Board of Directors, Candace Vasillion, to help ‘fill the gap’. In addition, we plan to appoint at least one more non-voting, Advisory Board member to our Board of Directors.
In view of the work that remains and the high rate of “burnout” on all Boards, expect to see a proposal for your consideration in the coming Annual Election in January of ‘09, to expand the voting Board members by at least two new seats.

Does the Board of Directors have the right to appoint a replacement upon the resignation of a Board member?
Florida State Bill 995 makes many changes to the current Condominium Law in it’s passing into Law. It removes the requirement for windstorm insurance and from prohibiting Associations from forbidding the attachment of religious items on front doors.
