Board Election
2025 BOARD OF DIRECTOR ELECTIONS RESULTS
The Elections Committee received three applications for the 2025 Board of Directors Election by the submission deadline. After their submission, one candidate voluntarily withdrew, leaving two eligible candidates for two open board seats.
Since no write-in candidates are allowed in the voting process, and because the number of qualified candidates is equal to the number of open seats (as provided by Tahoe Donner Restated Bylaws Article VII, Section 5(d) and the Election and Voting Rules) the Board of Directors declared Benjamin Levine and Jay Wertheim elected by acclamation at the April 25, 2025 board meeting. Benjamin Levine recused himself and left the meeting during this action item. Thus, the 2025 Director Election is concluded.
We want to congratulate Benjamin Levine, who is currently serving as president of the board and will begin his second three-year term this June, and warmly welcome Jay Wertheim as the newest Tahoe Donner Board of Directors member!
Meet your board and mingle with neighbors at the Annual Meeting and Member Expo + BBQ on Sunday, June 29.
