A Special Thank You
Carl Prettyman, Jr.
Nominating Chairman
2018–2019It was an honor to represent our community and serve as the Desert Ridge Community Association (DRCA) 2018-2019 Nominating Chair.
I would like to thank Dan Oseran and Robert Singer for being on the committee this past year and congratulate them on their reappointments to the 2019-2020 Nominating Committee. I would also like to congratulate Steve Burns on his appointment to be the 2019-2020 Nominating Committee Chair. They will all do a great job.
Congratulations to Doug Dickson, Reginald Younger, Jr., Steve Burns, and Debi La Rosa for being elected to the DRCA Board of Directors. I have enjoyed working with the members of the DRCA in service to our community on the board during the past several years, as well as working and serving on the Design Review, Public Affairs and Community Awareness Committees.
Special thanks to our community members for their participation and involvement in this year’s annual membership meeting and election. The annual meeting would not be possible without receiving your votes.
This year marked the second year since we moved to voting electronically online. By moving to online voting, it has enabled us to cut the association annual meeting expenses by as much as $10,000 over previous years by reducing printing, mailing, and postage costs.
I would like to recognize and thank FirstService Residential for their service to our community. Online voting was introduced to the DRCA during one of the educational workshops offered at a FirstService Residential Annual Conference & Expo.
Finally, I would like to thank Vice Mayor, Jim Waring for his continued support to Desert Ridge and our DRCA Management team; Terrance, Sharon, Pam and John. Thanks to their effort and hard work, they put together an outstanding meeting this year.
