Aletta
Waterhouse
A Sun City Anthem Board
Candidate
Lacking Relevant Experience
Perhaps at some point in the coming
years, this individual would be a viable candidate for the Sun City Anthem
Board.
...but...
Not in
2016 !
The transition to self-management
makes 2016 the most crucial election in Sun City Anthem
history...
...a new frontier for all who reside in
our association...
...and that must require RELEVANT BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
at this stage of
change.
We cannot allow ourselves to be lead by
"maybes" and "dreams" of
those who have no track record in making relevant financial business decisions
that affect the lives of 7,144 unit owners....
...something lacking in Mrs. Waterhouse at its initial
stage.
As a former Librarian for the Library of Congress,
this background in no way qualifies this individual
to "guide" any organization having an $8 million annual revenue in dues and
approximately $1 million in general revenue.
The past has taught us a costly lesson
in choosing such individuals having insufficient credentials as a member of the
Board.
Currently Sun City Anthem is lead by a
"community organizer", a "superintendent of a small school district", and an"airline pilot" in addition to one other individual whose background never reached a level of senior
management in the private sector.
The results of those inexperienced
choices have resulted in...
... massive
restaurant subsidies...
...Liberty Center problems that have not been properly understood and
neglected...
and...
...a
complete lack of proper communication between those
leaders and unit owners.
With a lack of relevant experience and
her "it must be in a book" manner of solving
problems...
...that lack of knowledge of the "real
world" of economics and entrepreneurial "know how" severely lacking in her
past would, in our opinion, be beyond her ability to successfully lead....at the current time.
If you
need "guidance" in financial management, you go to a business person, not a
librarian.
What Mrs.
Waterhouse "brings to the table" is being a part of one committee after
another, a system that is being radically redefined under the "Self -Management"
model we are about the adopt on April 1, 2016...
...a new system we do not believe she
fully comprehends and would impede as a
result.
She has been part of an OLD SYSTEM that
has been determined to be in need of
repair....and...replacement.
....and during the course of her
discussions, appears to be reluctant to accept many changes, especially in the
role standing committees will now play.
Let us be
clear...
Mrs. Waterhouse has been a dedicated
volunteer and has served on a number of association
committees...
...but that alone DOES NOT PROVIDE CREDENTIALS NECESSARY to perform the tasks
required in the Self-Management transition.
Self-management now
redefines our governance whereby a GENERAL MANAGER makes the decisions.
The Board will then
make a final decision as to accepting or rejecting any such
action.
In our opinion her past
"bureacratic" experience and complete LACK OF ANY RELEVANT BUSINESS
EXPERIENCE will hinder that progress.
Perhaps in the future,
her knowledge of systems and organization can properly enhance the initial
decisions that will be implemented in 2016, but we cannot afford a person who is
without experience to determine policy at the current
time.
She is better qualified
to follow what has been determined.
Making major
mistakes cannot be made in 2016....and choosing those with experience to
minimize them, has never been more important than in the coming
year.
As a result, we cannot recommend her for election to the 2016 Sun
City Anthem Board of Directors.
