The Sweetbriar Farms POA is having a Special Election as the President and Vice-President are resigning at the end of the year.   President Warren Screiber has found that his new job has more extensive demands to be on the road and no longer feels he can devote the time necessary.  Vice-President Susan Stevens after many years on the Board as Treasurer before being elected Vice- President has also resigned effective at the end of the year.   This last year. With the Hurricane recovery, the replacement of the gate,  replacement of our long term landscape person,  and the Spectrum fiber project,  this has been a very difficult year and Warren and Susan have provided great leadership,  but it is necessary to replace them with a Special Election to fill the remaining year of their two year terms.

​

The process of the Special Election will be:

​

1. Nominations – Every Owner is eligible to nominate Owners for the two open positions (descriptions below).  Self- nominations are also encouraged.   Nominations will remain open until August.  Submit nominations to sweetbriarnc.board@gmail.com

​

2.Voting – Ballots with the nominees, and voting instructions, will be available on the Sweetbriar Farms POA website.  We will need 45 ballots returned by (or brought to) the Annual meeting on October 11th weekend ballots are counted
