Members eligible to vote who are unable to attend the Annual Meeting can file a proxy vote with the Secretary at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Proxy voting is a form of voting whereby a Lot Owning Member delegates his or her voting power to a Lot Owning Member who owns another property to enable a vote in their absence.

There is only one vote per property no matter how many names are on the deed. If there are multiple owners on a deed/LLC/Trust, then the multiple owners need to decide among themselves how to cast their single vote. If multiple owners from the same property vote, your vote will only be counted once and if they vote differently, they will be cancelled and none of the votes will count, even though the property will still be counted for quorum purposes. So, please designate a Primary Voter to vote for your property on behalf of all; if you designate a Primary Voter no proxy is needed.

If you are unable to attend, you may designate another Lot Owning Member as your proxy to vote for you. The Lot Owning Member voting your proxy must attend the meeting and they vote on your behalf. So please discuss your wishes with your Proxy so they vote the way you want.

Proxies do not count towards a quorum. Click this link to download a pdf proxy form. Please email your proxy vote to Tammy Moore at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or place in the Secretary’s PO Box at the Assembly Building, by August 2, 2024 at 9:29 am. No more than 5 proxy votes shall be held by one person. Associate Members are not permitted to designate proxies.
