Message From COO ( Continued From Previous Page )
community engagement sessions provide an opportunity for the board to learn property owners ’ perceptions of the current and future direction of the community , which will help guide the association ’ s strategic planning .
David McNair , president of The McNair Group , will facilitate these meetings , and you ’ ll have a chance to register your thoughts and perspectives in a ' live response feedback ’ that will establish priorities for discussion . We promise this will be engaging and informative . NOTE : please bring your smartphone to participate in live text voting .
Three community engagement sessions are scheduled , and spread over a period of months . We hope that having one session prior to Labor Day and two in the fall will allow for wide-ranging participation by different segments of our membership . All sessions will be held in The Sandcastle ballroom on the following ( remaining ) dates :
• Monday , Oct . 8 at 6 p . m .
• Thursday , Nov . 15 at 9 a . m .
The McNair group will follow these sessions with an electronic survey of the membership , in order to collect broad based input . We encourage you to participate .
Closing Thoughts When I think about The Sandcastle project and the upcoming community engagement sessions , I think about KICA ’ s mission statement , which is as follows :
The Kiawah Island Community Association exists to preserve and enhance the quality of life and property values of its members . This includes taking the leadership role in ensuring that Kiawah Island ' s unique look and feel is preserved by exceptional stewardship of its resources , which provide for a beautiful , safe , well maintained , and friendly community .
It ’ s fitting that as we celebrate this wonderful reinvestment in Kiawah by our community , we ’ re also looking to the future and getting your input regarding our strategies and if they align with our mission . I look forward to seeing you soon .
Sincerely ,
Jimmy Bailey Chief Operating Officer
