Board of directors   The Board of Directors is a panel of five Cedarfield Plantation residents, popularly elected at the annual meeting of the Homeowners Association.  There are three terms identified in the Articles of Incorporation: One one-year term; two two-year terms and two three-year terms.  Board members serving other than three year terms are eligible to run for reelection upon expiration of their term.  No Board member may serve more than two successive terms of any duration, but may run for election after a one year ‘retirement’.  Members of the Board may not act of their own accord.  All procedures and responsibilities of the Association are defined and mandated by the documents which establish the ‘constitution’ of the neighborhood.  It is the obligation of the Board of Directors to carry out these responsibilities in a responsible, fair and equitable manner.  All procedures of the Board of Directors, in the following paragraph, are required by the governing covenants, which can neither be overlooked nor changed by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors meets once a month and otherwise, as needed, to conduct the business of the Association.  It instructs the management company, authorizes expenditures, administers the budget, enforces convenants/restrictions and, when necessary, takes legal action as prescribed by the Association Charter to either enforce covenants/restrictions or to collect annual assessments.  The Board also performs public services such as notifying residents of hazards which may exist on their property.  The Board is continually watchful for ways to maintain or improve the community for the benefit of all members.
