association. Each year in January, we ask you to

relies on to operate. They are: 1. Take a moment to pay your assessment.
2. Vote in the board director election.
3. Assign your proxy to the board secretary.

Member assessments fund the majority of the
association’s operating budget. With the approval of
the 2020 budget, general and segment assessment
rates increased 5% from the 2019 rates.
Assessment statements were sent out in late
December, and included the 2019 supplemental
assessment necessitated by Hurricane Dorian.
