THE FOLLOWING IS THE OVERVIEW OF THE CANDIDATES FOR THE 2010 BOARD ELECTION.

2010 AAFPO Board of Directors Election

The Election Committee was faced with a large task with six open positions on the Board when the election season began in January. The committee, chaired by Larry Leahy, did an outstanding job recruiting twelve candidates for the six open positions.

Five of the candidates are full-time residents of Angel Fire. Other candidates range the country from Maryland to California with intermediate stops in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. We appreciate the interest from part-time residents who have not been fully represented on the Board in the past. This is all possible due to the use of teleconferencing that has been used for the past two years.

After a decline from 2005-06 when six women were on the Board, three women are running for the Board this year. Five candidates are retired, one is a housewife and the others are still working.

With six open positions, there will be staggered terms for the candidates elected to the Board. The top three votegetters will receive three-year terms, the next highest votegetter will receive a two-year term, and two candidates will receive a one-year term. Barring any unforeseen resignations, there will be three open positions in 2011 and thereafter.

Each property owner may vote for up to six candidates. If you do not feel confident enough to vote on your own, you may select a proxy to vote for you. Proxies this year are present directors not running for election this year: Barry Rogers, Jack Fuehr, Harvey Wright, Jim LeBus, Joan Ronchetti, and Mike Woolley.
