Mick Herdrich was elected President of the Seven Lakes West Landowners Association [SLWLA] by a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors in a brief meeting Tuesday afternoon, March 22.
John Hoffmann, the sitting Vice President, presided over the election of officers; former President Ron Shepard ended his term on the Board at Sunday's Annual Meeting.
Hoffmann nominated Herdrich for the President's slot, a motion seconded by Adam Wimberly.
Hoffmann himself was re-elected Vice President; Jane Sessler was elected Secretary.
Don Freiert, who was only recently named to the Board and the Treasurer's post, replacing Joe Sikes, was re-elected Treasurer.
All officers were elected by unanimous votes of the Board.
President Herdrich then undertook committee assignments, allowing returning Directors to express their preference before turning to newly elected Board members.
Adam Wimberly will move from Architectural Review [ARC] to take responsibility for Lake & Dam, which had been handled by Herdrich. Hoffmann will take over ARC, allowing newly-elected Director Jim McCarthy, a former New York City Police detective, to assume responsibility for Safety & Security.
New Board members Jack Stevens and Jim Ferguson will handle Legal Affairs and Community Events, respectively.
Board members will gather for a transition meeting -- to be briefed on issues currently on the Board's agenda -- on Friday afternoon, and will meet individually for committee briefings with the Director whose portfolio they are assuming.
After concluding committee assignments, the Board moved into executive session, without specifying a reason for closing that portion of the meeting.
