Columnist wraps up term limits as NAHC President

-

When I sat down at my computer, I was planning to write about the upcoming Confederation meeting. The realization then hit; this is the last time I get to write a column as President of the Naperville Area Homeowners Confederation. Our Board very wisely incorporated term limits into the bylaws, and, accordingly, May 20 marks the end of my second and final term of office.

While joking at meetings for the past few months about my “farewell tour,” it seemed abstract and beyond the horizon, finality had not sunk in. This is it, though, the torch will be passed. Assuming the membership agrees, Steve Grosskopf will be my successor.

On my way out the door, there are a few people I would like to thank; first and foremost, my good friend, confidante, and predecessor as President, Dr. Bob Buckman. Dr. Bob exemplifies the selflessness needed to manage a community organization, keeping an eye on what’s important, and staying in the good graces of all. He was a tough act to follow and I hold his friendship dear. Mike Reilly came out of Confederation retirement to be my Vice President. Mike’s insights, counsel, and sense of humor are valued. I would not be here today if Boyd Briscoe had not suggested I might make a good addition to the Board. Thanks, Boyd, for providing guidance and perspective, even from afar.

Lastly, thanks to friends of the Confederation. It has been a pleasure interacting with Council members, legislators, school and county board members, association presidents and delegates, the press, and all of the Confederation Board members who served during Dr Bob’s and my tenure. This has been a team effort, and hopefully we did it the right way.

I hope to see you on May 20. More details will be at www.napervillehomeowners.com.
