In a different post, RobertW asks about qualifying candidates for electing board members/directors. Below is the cover sheet that candidates must complete and sign in my HOA. The next page is their Candidate Statement in which they tell voters about themselves, and suggest what they might do to support their HOA. It's the only page sent to the membership. It's just a sample that we've used for many years and have tweaked many times.
Before we limited the length of the Candidate Statement, for instance, we actually received two 6-page C.Vs that blabbed on & on about the person's achievements going back 20 years! So a word limit and page limit (ONE!) is important and also saves money as these must go to voters by US mail, at least in CA.
I hope it's helpful or at least gives ideas about what current boards might want candidates to inform the membership.
