Why I Wish to Serve the Sea Pines Community:
I want to help the CSA Board be proactive, engaged and united within our gates and in partnership with the broader island community.
We face real challenges. Traffic congestion on I-278 and around SeaPines Circle distresses residents and deters essential workers from taking island-based jobs.
We must fix this problem or risk losing the workforce that keeps our community running.
We must also be active partners in finding solutions for affordable workforce housing – collaborating with the Town, other communities, and major employers.
It is vital that we reconsider how we govern ourselves in Sea Pines including returning to in-person board meetings (plus Zoom for out-of-towners), community coffees with staff, and re-establishing the numerous CSA committees that once channeled property owner expertise and advice to the Board and helped prepare future Board leaders.
Owners should have easy access (via a secure online portal) to information on SeaPines governance, spending, and contracts that impact our property rights and how we live.
Finally, I support reinstating in-person “Meet the Candidates” events with constituent Q&A to ensure a more informed/engaged electorate.
I look forward to contributing to bold and enlightened solutions that enrich our quality of life and property values now and well into the future.
