Frequently Asked Questions

  • Board meetings should be respectful and focused on serving the community. I will advocate for conducting meetings under Robert's Rules of Order to ensure fairness, orderly discussion, and efficient decision-making. Workshops should be learning sessions where board members gather facts. Board members have just one vote.  Once a decision is made, the Board needs to move forward together. 

  • I hope to improve communication between the Board and residents by providing timely updates, clear explanations of decisions, and board approved articles for publication. 

  • Financial stability, when making decisions, should be a  Board goal. I will urge that we carefully evaluate the long-term financial effects of the Wyndham transition before committing to additional major capital projects.

  • The Board's role is to establish policy,  not manage day-to-day operations. I support having department heads provide regular reports at the Board meetings so members hear firsthand about successes, challenges, and priorities.

  • Good governance requires clear boundaries. Executive Sessions should be limited to legal and personnel matters. Confidentiality agreements should clearly define what information is confidential and what belongs in the public domain, with legal guidance whenever questions arise. 

  • Our golf operation has already demonstrated that thoughtful adjustments can produce positive financial results despite changing conditions. Promoting the Preferred Dining Program is just one example of how the Food & Beverage deficit can be improved. 

  • My years as a community board president, business owner, and finance professional have taught me that successful organizations thrive when people listen, respect differing opinions, and work together toward common goals. I will bring an open mind, common sense, integrity, and a commitment to making decisions that serve the best interests of the entire Fairfield Glade community.

  • Fairfield Glade has outstanding venues that deserve greater visibility. I will encourage strategic marketing efforts that showcase our community. Conventions and  pickleball tournaments, after the new complex is completed, could bring in additional visitors. Fairfield Glade would benefit financially, including local businesses. 

  • Good decisions begin with good information. I believe a Board member must carefully evaluate facts, financial data, committee recommendations, and professional expertise before making important decisions. My commitment is to listen first, ask questions, understand the issues, and then make informed decisions that are in the best long-term interest of the entire Fairfield Glade community.
