The 2025 Vote for CMF Board of Directors

The CMF HOA Board Bylaws governing structure consists of five (5) Directors with equal voting rights. The practice has been for Directors to serve two-year terms.  The current Bylaws do not specify term limits.  However, two current Board members (Bruce Anderson and Barbara Brooks) have served four terms or more as Directors including when they held years as Board Officers. Given this lengthy tenue as Board members they voluntarily decided that this is the time not to run for another term as a voting Director on the Board.

For the term beginning January 1, 2026, there are four (4) openings for Board Director positions.  Given that there are more than four HOA members who have volunteered to be considered for a Director role, HOA members are being asked to vote for no more than four of the candidates for these Director positions.  Proxy voting forms and the instructions on completion will be provided online and we have set September 30, 2025 as the target date for returning a proxy ballot with your selections.

The Board Director role is not limited to oversight, but active participation in operations.  Board members dedicate volunteer hours on planned activities such as the 6 to 8 formal Board meetings during each year and the maintenance and administration of the CMF HOA website. They are also personally engaged in meeting prospective buyers, state and local officials on environmental responsibilities, working directly with our legal, accounting, security, road and common area maintenance service providers.

We are fortunate to have individuals volunteer their services on the expected and unusual conditions impacting our community.   Given that there is much work underway for the Board, a successful transition between the selection of any new members and January 2026, Bruce Anderson will remain as Board President until January 2026 and will facilitate and oversee the Board’s selection, training and accountabilities for the 2026 Officer team. The CMF community needs continuity and readiness to address the Board responsibilities.

Final Preparation Guidelines for the Upcoming Election.

1. Many CMF Properties have co-ownership in the HOA records and in the Wilkes County Register of Deeds. For voting purposes each lot has one vote so any duplicate voting for a single lot, will be rejected.
2. HOA Members in arrears on their HOA annual dues where the HOA Board has taken legal action with Wilkes County to apply a lien on the property due to non-payment should seriously consider making payment before the voting process is complete so their vote could not be challenged as not in good standing following North Carolina legal precedence.
3. If the returned votes do not constitute the necessary minimum number for a quorum, the voting results will be an input in the selection process but the authority rests with the current Boad members led by the President to make the decision on the appointment of Board Directors.
