Left to Right: Ben Cheatham, Rajan Govindan, Cathy Pumphrey, Dave Singer, Lynn Morgenstern, Bruce Stemerman (Resigned), Townsend Clarkson The Kiawah community is made up of a diverse group of property owners. Association members range from full- to part-time residents, single family owners to condo and villa owners, club members to non-club members, renters to regime owners, etc. Regardless, we are all members of KICA, and if our board of directors reflects our community, it will be better positioned to understand the different perspectives that exist among our membership. The KICA Nominating Committee was formed for this very reason, to help build and maintain a board that has the skill and diversity to provide effective governance for the community. The Any member may run for board service by submitting an application package, which includes background information and a statement of focus. These statements will be published along with other election materials. For specific filing details or to obtain application materials and assistance with completing the process, contact [email protected]. The deadline for applications will be announced soon and is expected to be early-to-mid October. Diverse board leadership is vital to the continued success of our Kiawah community, and the Board thanks you for your interest in making an impact on the future of the island. Stay Connected to Kiawah with KICA Livestream - Visit kica.us/livestream to view streams when available - With over 80% of association members being part-time residents, Kiawah Island is somewhat unique. Many property owners want to stay informed, attend meetings and participate in discussions that may shape the future of our island, but simply aren't here when those meetings are taking place. Now, a new KICA service can help members stay connected from anywhere in the world! KICA is now offering live video streaming for certain meetings, such as KICA board meetings. With the touch of a button, members can attend meetings and other events from the comfort of their own home. Livestreaming is simple. Simply visit the kica.us/livestream at the start of a meeting to view the stream (if available). That's it! Livestreaming is currently available for the bi-monthly KICA board meetings, Java With Jimmy and other select association meetings, however KICA hopes to continue to expand livestream offerings moving forward. Members may also attend board meetings via telephone conference. For more information on upcoming board meetings, visit kica.us/board. Have any questions or comments on the livestreaming process?
