Shell Island Homeowners’ Association Annual Meeting
Saturday, March 9, 2024
January 12, 2024
Dear Shell Island Homeowners:
You are cordially invited to the Shell Island Annual Homeowners Meeting! Please join us for an informational meeting regarding the resort. It is time to gather with old friends and meet our new owners!
Please make your reservations early for the HOA Meeting on Saturday, March 9, 2024, at the Resort.
The meeting will start promptly at 9:30 A.M. A light continental breakfast will be available in the meeting room starting at 8:30 A.M. There will be time to sign in and confirm, if necessary, that your ballots were received in advance of the meeting.
It is important for owners to attend this Meeting. The Board will provide information on the financial condition of the Resort and the HOA, new strategies for increasing revenues to the owners, challenges facing the owners in maintenance of the building, the inlet dredging costs, and other information that is essential to owners’ understanding how Shell Island works, and prospects for our shared future at the Resort.
Part of the business at the meeting will be the election of four Board members. New owners should know that there are seven Directors serving on the Board and approximately half are elected at each Annual Meeting. As in the past, ballot counting will be done by volunteer homeowners during the meeting with results announced before adjournment.
After the meeting, there will be an open forum for questions from owners. Board members and staff will make their best effort to provide any information available to them.
Owners interested in standing for election to the Board must advise the HOA office of your candidacy no later than 5:00 PM on Friday, February 2, 2024. Candidates should submit a biography/statement to acquaint owners with you, your qualifications, and your goals for Shell Island at the same time. Bios/statements should be concise to minimize printing and mailing costs since they will be sent to all HOA members with the ballots about three weeks before the meeting. Current Board Directors welcome owners’ questions regarding the considerable time commitment and responsibilities usually required of a Board Director.
Ballots will be sent to you about three weeks ahead of the meeting with detailed instructions. If you have any questions, please address them to a Board member (contacts listed below) or to the General Manager, Dara Newberry, at dnewberry@shellisland.com.
Best wishes,
Shell Island HOA Board of Directors
