Bill Master's two minute speech

Hello,
 
I’m Bill Masters, a Candidate running for the Lake Holiday board of directors.  If elected, I feel I can make a positive contribution, and my years of experience and good common sense would be an asset to our community. 
 
Two of my major issues are the urgent need for improved communications between management, the board, and the community.  I am a strong advocate that the residents have, not only the need, but the right to be kept abreast of issues that will effect our community and our way of life.  This knowledge is a tool to insure the direction, attitude, and stand of your elected board members. It is a way to insure that the Boards actions reflect the wishes and ideals of our community.  I feel no decision is a good decision if it fails to address and in compass what is in the best interest of our community and as important, the direction of the majority.
 
Our community has indeed come a long way in the last few years.  That is not an issue.   To me, the issue is why has been so costly and taken so long.  I feel confident as more qualified Candidates come forward with their enthusiasm, energy and expanded attitudes and knowledge, this community will go a lot further in a much shorter time.  
 
Many of the families in our community are working and have children.  Understandable, their limited time makes serving on a board or committee impractical.  The result has been a lack of new qualified Candidates.  This up coming election is affording the voters the opportunity to elect Candidates who have never served on our board.  I feel their getting elected will bring needed enthusiasm, energy, knowledge and approaches to the table which will certainly energize the board.  
 
My issues are not intended to have a negative tone but to suggest that it is inherent that those in politics and public positions all too often become complacent and numb to the concerns of those they represent.  They began to act and push their own agenda thinking they know what’s best rather then the agenda of the people they represent.
 
Your vote counts.  I ask for your vote
 
Bill Masters
(Candidate for the Lake Holiday Board of directors)
