EPOA Seeks Committee Members

The Eastern Property Owners' Association (EPOA) is seeking candidates to serve on the Citizens' Budget Review and Advisory Committee.

The purpose of the Committee is to assist and advise the EPOA in connection with a review and analysis of the Village budget, financial systems, procedures and operations. The Committee is advisory in nature and has no power or authority to bind the POA or the Village or to establish public policy for the Village.

The goal of the Committee is to improve the budget review process and to provide an effective means of communication between Village administrators, the Village Board of Trustees and the property owners associations. The four POAs of the Village, by way of the Joint Conference Committee, have worked together to create a mission statement for the Citizens' Budget Review and Advisory Committee, with the hope that defining the role of the Committee and its goals will help improve communication.

The EPOA is seeking volunteers to serve on the Committee, which has a two year term. The Committee is authorized to have eight members, consisting of two persons from each of the Western, Estates, Central and Eastern sections. It is expected that the Committee members will attend Village operating and capital budget meetings and then meet with the EPOA to discuss their findings and to provide suggestions based on their factual analysis.

Individuals seeking appointment to this Committee should have a financial background or familiarity with budget processes, accounting and other relevant experience.

Please provide a letter defining your interest, along with any relevant qualifications that you may wish considered, to Walter McKenna , President of the Eastern Property Owners' Association, at walter.mckenna@gcepoa.org .
