Highland Lakes

The Highland Lakes Voting Board is scheduled to meet at 8 pm Friday, December 18 in the Seckler Room of the Clubhouse before adjourning into executive session. The board generally meets on the third Friday of most months to review the current activities and business of the Club. The meeting agenda always includes time allotted for reports from individual committees, a review of the Club’s current expenses, correspondence, legal matters, and a discussion of old and new business. Towards the end of the meeting the floor is open to members and all who wish to share their views on any Club related topic are encouraged to speak. Time is permitted at the beginning of each meeting for members to express views on any topic scheduled for a vote that night.

New business to be discussed includes the following motions:

• Motion accepting the “Topics for Planning Committee” memo from Planning Committee Co-Chairs Michael Gillooley and Brian Morton as the committee’s work plan.
• Motion directing the By-Laws and Rules committee to take up an examination of potential changes to Section IX of Article V – Officers and Trustees dealing with the formation and duties of the Nominating Committee.

Attending board meetings and workshops is a great way for members to become knowledgeable about the issues that the Club faces, to gain an understanding of what various committees are working on and become acquainted with board officers and the trustees who represent the various sections of our community. Meetings are typically two to three hours in length.
