Meet the Candidates

The Nominating Committee is asking for your questions to present before the Candidates on June 16th- Candidates Night.  Please send in your questions now!  adianerdh@att.net

Up Date !

This evening (6-1-11) all the Board Candidates were invited to attend the Diamondhead Community Church Men's Prayer group's monthly meeting.  We were treated to a wonderful meal prepared by Allen Bedell & Tom Henry.  The first question asked of the Board Candidates was; "What do you see as the most pressing need for Diamondhead right now?"  Jo Ann Rhodes answered "Peace".  Faye Taylor described using Power-Point to advertise DH.  Katherine Denow agreed with advertising.  Rick Noffsinger expressed 'accountablility' as his first concern.  Rick was asked about the golf committee that was formed last year to study ways of improving golf membership.  Rick explained that 26 DH members met several times with extensive research and ideas that were compiled and presented before the Board.  None of their recommendations were adopted.
The Prayer group members expressed a desire for Board members (present & future) to refrain from acting as a "Boss" by directing the employees....'mircro-managing'.  "The general manager should be the only 'Boss' to his employees, and the GM should only be advised by the President of the Board, and in private."
The subject of 'curfew' was explored.  Another area of concern expressed by the Men's Prayer group is the lack of Internet access in Diamondhead.

Today (6-1-11) Byron Efird visited with the Card Ladies during their lunch break!  Byron explained his desire to have the golf course pay for itself by recruiting new golf membership.  He believes that the golf course should not be subsidized by Diamondhead POA dues by $200,000.00 per year.  Byron would like to see that money spent on roads, etc.

Today (5-18-11) Faye Taylor visited with the Card Ladies!  It was so good to have her join us for lunch.  Faye expressed her desire to "market Diamonhead".  Faye has plans to use Power-Point while visiting with various organizations throughout the Hot Springs area to advertize the benefits of living in our beautiful community.  Faye also answered questions regarding the Standard's Committee where she served to help bring about the newest resolution passed by the Board.  Faye  expressed her desire to spend her time serving our community.

Today (5-4-11) Rick Noffsinger join the 'Hand & Foot' Card Ladies during our lunch break between games.  Rick gave us information regarding his business background and where he stands on many fundamental issues.  When asked what his main focus would be if elected to the POA Board of Directors, Rick replied: "Accountability"  Rick believes that every board member should be very aware of the financial aspects of this community.  The "Card Ladies" appreciated his insight and willingness to listen to their concerns.

Today (4-27-11) JoAnn Rhodes met with the 'Hand & Foot' Card ladies in the Banquet room of the Club House. During our lunch break between card games, we were each given the opportunity to ask JoAnn questions and let our views be expressed.
JoAnn did a great job of listening to us! And we have a better understanding of where she stands on several important issues.

Candidates for the Board of Directors

Do you know what they stand for? Or, more importantly, do they know what you want from them as your representative? Will your vote insure that your wishes for our community are carried out?
These are all questions that we need to have answered before the ballets go out July 1st!
I would like to organize a one-on-one meeting with each of the Board Candidates. An opportunity to let your opinions regarding Public Safety, Financial Responsibility, Road conditions, or anything else of interest to each of you.
Please contact me with your ideas on how to make this happen. Perhaps you would be interested in hosting a small group in your home, or your "group", "committee", or "club" may want to spend extra time visiting with a prospective Board member.

Please let me know if you would like to have these Board Candidates speak with your club or organization.  Diane Porterfield: adianerdh@att.net  262-5956
