ISLAND GOVERNANCE Deadline for Board Applications - Oct. 4 Board service is an opportunity for you to share your experience and ideas with the community, represent the interests of your fellow property owners, and be part of the process that steers the future of Kiawah. Two seats on the KICA Board of Directors will be opening, as director Cathy Pumphrey and chair Ben Cheatham finish their terms in March 2020. Any KICA member may run for board service by submitting an application, which includes pertinent information and a statement of focus. These statements will be published along with other election materials. Visit kica.us/about/board for links to the candidate application, FAQs and more. The deadline for applications is Friday, Oct 4. Applications are directed to the Nominating Committee, a member-led group that works to ensure qualified candidates are recommended based on objective evaluation. The Nominating Committee makes its recommendation to the membership after interviewing and evaluating prospective candidates. Diverse board leadership is vital to the continued success of our Kiawah community, and the board thanks you in advance for your interest in making an impact on the future of the island.
