Treasurer Tom Moore
made the following statement:
To the
Board of Directors Diamondhead POA;
I am writing this letter to inform you that I will not be
placing my name in nomination for another term as Treasurer during the annual
meeting in August. I thank you all for
your faith and support during the past year, however, it has become apparent to
me that I am not able to deliver on the Treasurer’s obligation to provide
timely financial statements to the community as you have every right to expect.
As you all know, John Porter is as qualified as I am, if not
more so, to serve in this capacity and has expressed that he is willing and
able to make the time commitment the position currently requires.
I hope you all will join me in supporting him when we elect
officers, I will make every effort to make the transition as smooth as possible
for the new Treasurer, whoever it may be, and will certainly be available for
any projects down the road as the new Treasurer deems appropriate.
Thank You,
The minutes from last month’s meeting was passes
unanimously.
