The community association has posted biographies of the candidates and an online ballot on the HOA website, www.LantanaLive.com, and will be mailing notices of the election meeting, set for Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 6:30 p.m. at Harpool Middle School.

Three of the candidates–Jim Bridges, Melody Gscheidle and Kharl Mena– have been serving on the Lantana Community Association’s Resident Advisory Committee during the past year getting acquainted with the association’s daily operations.
Residents can vote online by 5 p.m. on February 22 or at the meeting.
To help insure a quorum is reached, proxies will also be provided to allow absentee voting. However, because nominations from the floor are permitted, residents are encouraged to attend the meeting in person.
Although the current Board of Directors is comprised of three employees of developer Forestar Group, one of the board members is 11-year Lantana resident, Tara Boswell, Lantana Sales Manager.
