Board of Directors Election | Palisades Village Green

Palisades Village Green will host its annual election of its Board of Directors during a meeting on Thursday, September 12, at 5 p.m. at Palisades Branch Library.

“All interested members of the community in attendance at this annual meeting are eligible to vote,” according to information provided by the board. “All candidates for the board will make an introductory statement, after which, ballots will be cast. The number of directors will be at least nine and not more than 15, and each will serve until the next annual meeting of members.”

Those who are interested in running as a new candidate on the board can send their name, how long they have lived in the Palisades, a brief background statement, and their interest in or prior activity with the Village Green to current President Cindy Kirven at cindykirven@aol.com by September 2.

Fifteen directors currently sit on the board, with two long-term members retiring this year: Betsy Collins and Ann Smith, who have agreed to stay on as “consultants.”

“They have each served for many years and have been instrumental in the ongoing care needed to keep the Green in such beautiful shape,” according to the board. “The community owes them a debt of gratitude for their years of service.”
