Hello, I am Dayna Emery. I
am running for a position on
the Board. Most of you have
known me for many years.
I have been a resident of
Le Havre since 1991. I have
volunteered throughout that
time to improve the status of
our community. With the help
of other parents, I ran the Le
Havre Kids’ Club, redesigned
the original playgrounds from
the 1950’s, taught a free
tennis clinic to Le Havre children,
helped with our yearly
Olympics and organized
movie nights on our pool
deck.
I am a captain of my building
and maintain an open,
honest relationship with the
current Board members and
administration staff. I am in
the process of organizing a
Block Watcher program in
conjunction with our local
precinct. All of this has been
accomplished as an involved
owner. I believe my history
with our community has been
helpful, approachable and
organized. I am taking the
next step to run for the Board
with the aim of facilitating
the communication with the
elected Board and the owners
who vote for them; to answer
questions that are posed in
an honest and timely matter
and to generate more involvement
from our residents. I will
work diligently to upgrade our
voting process by establishing
alternative methods and
accessibility to all.
This is a great community!
We can make it even better.
We are owners. Please vote
for me in the upcoming
election to represent our
interests. Let’s make this year
the first in 10 years to have a
quorum and a real election.
Show your interest and pride
in where you live. Thank you.

Additional Information:
I have been a resident at Le
Havre since 1972, the year
Arlene and I were married.
Our children, Jeffrey and
Rebecca, grew up here. In
1984, when Le Havre became
a co-op development, we
purchased our apartment in
Building #17. Subsequently,
when we needed more space,
we moved to Building #20.
As many know, I am a
Certified Public Accountant,
in my own practice. Seventyfive
percent of my practice
deals with co-op and condominium
developments. I have
been doing this for 41 years.
I deal with every financial
aspect of these developments,
including budgeting,
attending Board meetings,
giving advice to the various
Boards and preparing financial
statements for the developments.
I have been involved
in every aspect of advising
these developments.
I have been able to lend
this expertise to Le Havre
by serving on the Board of
Directors and holding the
position of Treasurer. I was
Treasurer in its first years
as a co-op (1984-1986) and
have been Treasurer from
April 2004, until I became
President in June 2011.
If re-elected to the Board, and
as President, I will continue to
run an honest and transparent
administration. I will be
proactive to insure that our
operations are run efficiently
and that we receive the best
in pricing and workmanship
from our contractors and vendors.
I will strive to have as
much work done in house by
our Maintenance Department
as possible. Taking all of the
above into account I would
hope to keep our carrying
charges in check.
We have made much progress
in the above in the past
year in regards to finance
and infrastructure. This will
enhance our property value
and improve our quality of
life. I appreciate the enormous
support I have received
from my fellow shareholders.
Together we will strive to
make Le Havre the Jewel of
Queens.
