Three-Year Terms Proposed for Directors
As the Lake Forest Board of Directors works to keep residents informed of possible updates to our documents and policies, we publish for public comment proposed changes that have been recommended by the Governing Documents Committee.

This proposed By-Laws change focuses on Section 6.2, and if approved by the Board, would take effect with the next election cycle.  It involves only term length and limits, and is not related to the number of potential seats open in the next election.
​
It is anticipated the Board will consider this measure at its Nov. 18 meeting. 

The amendment would:
• Reduce the terms of office for Directors from five years to three years;
• Limit Directors to two consecutive terms; and
• Make a Director ineligible for re-election for three years immediately following a second consecutive term. 
Please review the proposed amendment and comment if you wish. Send comments to Communications Committee Chairman Dale McGinnis @ dmcginnis@lakeforestdaphne.com or speak about the proposal at the Oct. 28 Board meeting.  

The original By-Law section and the proposed changes appear below.
