8 C RY D E R P O I N T JUNE Meet the Candidates Five Candidates for Four Seats – Every Vote Counts! ABY JILL DAVIS s most of you know, although it warrants repeating, we must reach a quorum in order for there to be an election. A quorum is achieved when at least 51% of total shares in the cooperative are voted. We squeaked by last year with 52.7% of shares voted, and we are hoping to have much greater participation this year. There are five candidates vying for the four seats that are up for election this year. All four incumbent Board members who are eligible to run have decided to do so again. In alphabetical order, they are: Minna Cohen, Richard Greenbaum, Jason Kober and John Naegele. In addition, one new candidate, Joel Haravay, is throwing his hat into the ring. If we achieve a quorum, those who are elected will serve a twoyear term. Following are reprints of each candidate’s resume along with a photo 8 CRYDER POINT COURIER | JUNE 2017 | WWW.QUEENSCOURIER.COM so that you can put a face to the name. These resumes are necessarily brief, but we hope they give you an idea of what each candidate’s goals and perspectives are. In addition, to help you make the most informed decision, we will be holding a Candidates’ Night on Thursday, June 8, during which each candidate will speak for a few minutes and field questions from the audience. Please join us poolside for this important forum. Please be sure to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on Thursday, June 22. We’re pleased that the meeting will be held at the Bay Terrace Jewish Center (which is far cooler and more comfortable than last year’s meeting at the public school!). If you cannot attend in person, please complete your proxy and have someone submit it for you, and encourage your neighbors to do so as well. Every vote counts!
