Volunteering In and Around Lakepointe

There are many opportunities to be involved in what goes on around Lakepointe. Take a look at the current committees that are in place and see if one interests you. It's a great way to meet your neighbors and take an active part in our community.  Each committee will have a chairman and a BOD liason. To Volunteer for any of the following areas or suggest a new committee please email Wendy O'Connor at woconnor51@att.net or call her at 847-508-5940.

Committees:

The Board will rely on committees to assist with the day to day affairs of the Association. A committee is comprised of two BOD members and one owner or three BOD members and two owners.  Each committee will submit a written monthly report to the BOD. The report will include activities and detailed expenditures for the reporting period within 48 hours of BOD meetings. The committee has the authority to spend up to $3,000 for any single expenditure.

All committees report up to the BOD at BOD meetings. Non Board committee members report up to the board and are encouraged to make recommendations to the BOD. For special projects additional owners/residents may be enlisted to accomplish a task.
