Island House Tenants Association (IHTA)Announcements:
2011-03-14: Annual members/board meeting at 8PM Island House Community Room [see agenda]. Will discuss annual reports, status of building conversion, maintenance issues/status, and election of officers by board of directors.
2011-01-31 IHTA Annual Elections Results: At the close of the nomination period, the Secretary received six (6) sets of nominations and acceptances for candidates for director: Graham Cannon, Chris Enock, Frank Farance, Renato Folla, Geoffrey Kerr, Richard Leopold. Our by-laws require a minimum of 5 directors and a maximum of 9. Assuming that each of the candidates would vote at least for themselves, the outcome of the elections was already known: these 6 candidates will become the new directors (there is no option to vote against a candidate, only the option to vote for a candidate). Because the outcome was already determined, the following process was used: the Secretary of the corporation cast one vote for the 6 candidates (i.e., there was still a vote).
