2.  VOTE NOW – BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION

We normally hold the election of the HWPOA Board of Directors in-person at our Annual Meeting.  However, as this year’s Annual Meeting will be held virtually, the election will be conducted separately.

Below you will find a link to vote electronically.  Members who do not have access to email will be sent paper ballots.  Only members in good standing may vote and only one vote per household will be counted.  If you and other family members each receive this email, please select one family member to cast a ballot.

To validate this election, at least 50 members must vote and in order to win, the candidate must receive a majority (at least 50% +1) of the legal vote.

Ballots must be received by 5:00 PM on April 14, 2024 to be counted.  Results will be announced at the Annual Meeting.

4.  SECURITY UPDATE – NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SIGNS

As you may know, the Security Committee of HWPOA had asked permission months ago from our Council Office and the LAPD to post our own Neighborhood Watch signs at strategic entrances to our community. We have finally been granted permission to present an application to the Department of Transportation for their final agreement. These signs would be posted in the parkways.

We will let you know the final decision.
