President’s Letter – October 2020
BY ED PHELAN,
PRESIDENT
Dear North Shore Towers
Shareholders:
Your North Shore
Towers Board of Directors held
an organizational meeting on
Wednesday, September 16, 2020,
with all members participating
remotely via videoconference.
As this was the first meeting
since the 2020 Board election
was determined, our primary
agenda was to accept the certi-fied
election results, elect Board
Officers and appoint
administrative Corporate
Officer positions neces-sary
to administer the
daily operation of our
cooperative.
I am pleased and proud
to report that I was elect-ed
by a majority of my
fellow Board Members
as your Board President
for the 2020/2021 Board
year. I assure you that I
am committed to serve
our Shareholders and
our community with
dedication and integrity.
The Board congratu-lates
and welcomes our
new member, Daniel
Nachmanoff, and
extends our gratitude
and appreciation to
Debra Markell Kleinert
for her years of service
towards the betterment
of North Shore Towers.
Looking forward, I
believe our path for suc-cess
is working in coop-eration
with one mutual
goal in mind, the better-ment
of our community.
North Shore Towers is
unique in that the gov-erning
of our property
is controlled by us, the
Board of Directors, while
our Managing Agent
helps oversee a large staff
of personnel which helps
facilitate the day to day
operation. However, it is
the Board of Directors
that sets policy for the
wellbeing of all our
Shareholders.
Our present Board
Members bring specific skills
relevant to managing our prop-erty
and are ready, willing and
more than capable of contrib-uting
their professional knowl-edge
toward achieving our goals.
North Shore Towers has a long,
successful history and a unique
set of circumstances all its own,
and I wish to extend my full sup-port
to our General Manager and
Management Team.
