This month, in addition to the announcement for Board election applications, it’s time to highlight the growing need for VOLUNTEERS to support our various committees. Committee members rotate off in December of the second year of their appointment. That means that several Committees are facing rebuilding efforts to maintain their operations in January 2023.

Here’s a snapshot of where your talents and time are most needed!

FINANCE COMMITTEE – There are 4 members rotating off at the end of this year. The work of the Finance Committee is critical to the NTRA budget and annual assessment process. Do you like working with figures? Here’s an overview of their work from November 2019 Crier.
COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE – HELP!!! Our website and newsletter are dependent on volunteers. In January, there will be at least 4 openings on this Committee. Here’s info on the work of the Communications Committee. Without a volunteer website administrator, the Association will be forced to hire someone – more $$ for your dues.
LANDSCAPE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (LAC) – This Committee oversees the condition of our property and makes recommendations for improving our Common Areas. In 2022 the LAC branched out with some gateway gardening projects. Compiling a five-year plan outlining the Association’s needs is one of their major projects.
POOL COMMITTEE – Like Communications, the Pool Committee has operated with multiple vacancies all year. Still, they accomplished great things like the launch of our new entry system. This is largely a seasonal commitment.

Here’s a past story on why other owners were motivated to step up and volunteer. Does that sound like it could be you?

There are eight NTRA Committees – (the others are Activities, Architectural Review, Asset Maintenance, and Emergency Preparedness - see related article in this Crier issue). Surely one of these teams would appreciate your involvement, even on an intermittent basis.

If you are curious but not sure, now is the time to visit a committee meeting and see whether you are a good fit for their work. All Committee meetings are published on the NTRA website calendar.
