The election process for Coting Members begins in July and ends in September. Each neighborhood (15 in all) within Barkley
Estates will elect 1 voting member and 1 Alternate voting member. Each property owner is asked to nominate 1 resident to serve
as a Voting Member for their respective neighborhood (be sure that who you nominate is willing to accept the nomination – self
nomination is encouraged). After the nomination process, each property owner shall be entitled to cast one number of votes
shall be elected to serve a term of one year and until a successor is elected. These newly elected Voting Members will be
responsible for casting all votes attributable to lots owned by Class A members in their neighborhoods to elect any vacant board
positions for the current year. Voting Members should also be prepared to take an active roll in the community, and should
make themselves available to attend meetings and serve as ambassadors for their neighborhoods. These Voting Members are
the people that cast votes for each neighborhood; they are your voice in the community!
At the Annual Meeting of the Voting Members on September 7, 2011, Voting Members will cast their votes for the 3 open board
positions. Any Resident can volunteer for a board position; just make your intentions known to the Nominating Committee via
the web site or by mail. Nominations will be taken from the floor as well. Elected Board Members will serve a 2 year term. Once
the Board Members are elected, the process of officer elections begins. Officers will be elected on September 14, 2011 at the
first Organizational Meeting of the new board. Anyone in the community can volunteer for officer positions, except for the
positions of President and Secretary. These two positions must be filled by Board Members.
It is important to remember that the reason we have a neighborhood association and elect a board is for them to represent the
views of its members. This holds true for parish government in the form of a parish council, as well as state and federal levels in
the form of a legislature. Boards, councils, etc. get to hear the voices of their constituents- those that are vocal and those that
are not so vocal. They can weigh the pros and cons of an issue and usually are more informed about the issue and its impact.
They can review laws, history, and precedents; they take the information gathered at public meetings and sort through the
issues without the sometimes heightened emotional tones that may occur at some meetings. Some individuals never voice
their opinions for fear of reprisals or because they did not want to be confrontational or disagree with a neighbor’s opinion.
These individuals usually talk to board members quietly on a one-on-one basis. Because most issues affecting our community
have many shades of gray, we depend on our board to weigh the issues and make decisions that benefit not just a few, but the
entire neighborhood and not for a short time, but for the long term to ensure the sustainability of both the association and our
community.
