2025 Annual Member Meetings and Elections—Update By Assistant General Manager Julia Meadows, CCAM, CMCA, AMS, PCAM
The three Villages Corporations (Club, Association and Homeowners’ Corporation) are preparing for this year’s elections and annual membership meetings. Elections will be conducted in May and June with election results announced at this year’s annual membership meetings to be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 4 p.m. at The Villages Clubhouse.
Club. The election will be held for two director positions (each for a term of three years) on The Villages Golf and Country Club (VGCC) Board of Directors. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation provide that there shall be seven directors. The directors who will continue to serve during the ensuing year are Richard Zahner, Judy Owen, Larry Versaw, Diana Hallock, and Michelle Breslin.
The Club’s Nominating Committee has announced Howie Blumstein, Mira Dytko, and Andy Altman as its candidates for election to the Board of Directors.
Association. For the 2025 Director election there are two open director positions. As of the established deadline for receiving nominations (March 31, 2025), the number of qualified candidates for election to the Board does not exceed the number of director positions available, and all requirements set forth in The Villages Association Election Rules, Sections 2.5 through 2.5.6, have been satisfied. As a result, Stephen Gilbert is the sole qualified candidate and is declared elected by acclamation to serve a three-year term, beginning immediately following the conclusion of the June 11 annual membership meeting.
Further, The Villages Association will conduct a vote in May and June to vote on the Association Resolution regarding the refund of membership income exceeding membership expenses.
Homeowners. The Villages Homeowners’ Corporation will conduct a vote on The Homeowners’ Corporation Resolution, Excess of Membership Income Over Membership Expenses Refunded to Members and election to fill two director positions to serve three-year terms.
The bylaws of the Homeowners’ Corporation provide that there will be five directors. Directors with expiring terms are Teddy Morse and Morton Cordell. Those who will continue to serve during the ensuing year are Rob Kirschbaum, Glen Seidel, and Larry McNary.
For the 2025 Director election there are two qualified candidates, Morton Cordell and Donna Ostheimer. Per Section 7.3 of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, if no additional candidates come forward as of May 1, 2025, at 5 p.m., they are to be declared elected by acclamation and will begin their terms as Directors on June 11, 2025, upon adjournment of the Annual Meeting of the Members.
The Special Open Meeting to count ballots under the direction of the Inspectors of Elections for all three corporate votes is scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. at Vineyard Center.
