WANTED. An intelligent, energetic, and motivated individual with a vision and a true understanding as to what the tag line – Proud Heritage and Exciting Future really means. The person must be honest, have strong organizational skills and be genuinely committed to working in the best interests of residents.
Acclamation is election by default – not by voters selecting the best candidate – and being acclaimed for two terms doesn’t necessarily mean that person is the peoples’ choice, it probably means there was no competition. If you feel that you have the right stuff to do the job – step forward, there are many Oro-Medonte residents who will welcome and support you.
