2022 BOT Election: Candidates

It is with pleasure that we present to you the slate of nominees for the 2022 Board of Trustees election cycle, Michael Dorne, Steve Grapp, and Suprena Lohrer. While we know you will appreciate their profiles, we also wanted to provide an opportunity to learn more about each candidate and their desire to serve our community. For that reason questions were compiled from the perspective of property owners and submitted to the candidates. Here you will find the profile and question responses submitted by each, for your consideration. We want to thank the candidates for their responsiveness and attention to detail during the nominating process.

Nomination Committee Post 1

The wheels are turning for the upcoming election in February and we are hoping that we have as great a voting turnout as we did last year!

We have one qualified candidates application so far and that is Suprena Lohrer.  Just another reminder, Applications are due December 1, 2018 so if you are even thinking of running, please consider picking up the application and bio soon so you have plenty of time to work on them.  They are not difficult but you’ll want to give your bio some thought. Remember, in order to run, you must be up to date on all assessments to be in good standing with the community.

We have also set the dates for “Meet and Greet the Candidates” events.  They will be Sunday, December 9, 2018 , 1:00-3:00p and Tuesday, December 11, 2018. Both events will be held at the main lodge.   All candidates are strongly encouraged to attend and to be ready to do a 5 minute introduction and then answer voters’ questions, one on one, to the best of their ability.  We realize the Sunday is the day before publication of the bios but we will be asking for special permission to print a few copies for that day.   So….candidates, please plan ahead of due dates!

Hopefully light refreshments will once again be furnished by our terrific volunteer group!

Hope to see you there. And remember, EVERY ELECTION IS IMPORTANT AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD CHOCTAW LAKE’S FUTURE!
