Introducing the new MPOA Board

Since July 2018, there have been a few changes to the MPOA board of directors that we wanted to share with you.

  • President: 
    • Arndt Kruger announced at the AGM that after being President since 2012 he would step down from this position.  Arndt has left big shoes to fill but lucky for us, he will continue on the board and is taking on the role of Community Relations. A very big thanks to Arndt for his years of leadership and for the contributions that he  has made to our lake association to-date!
    • Francine Bates will take on the President role for 2018.   Fran will also continue as the Director of Communications and Webmaster. 
  • Vice President:
    • Bob Reid will continue as Vice President, a role that he assumed in 2017. 
  • Treasurer:
    • Rose Prevoe will continue as Treasurer, a role that she took on in 2017.
  • Secretary:
    • Suzanne Sills has joined the board this year and has assumed the role of Secretary.  Please welcome Suzanne!  We are happy to have the Secretary position filled and would like to thank Carol Colden for volunteering to take the minutes at the AGM for the past two years.
  • Lake Steward:
    • Vern Haggerty, who took a hiatus from the board a few years ago has returned to the Lake Steward position. We are extremely happy to have Vern and his expertise in this area back on the board!  The Lake Steward is always a big job with lots of focus items thus joining Vern to create a "Lake Steward team" are Bob Reid and Jamie Fraser.  Jamie was elected to the board at the AGM.  Jamie brings technical skills, youth and enthusiasm to our team.  A big welcome to Jamie! 
    • Harry Van Ymeren was our Lake Steward in 2017 but has  elected to take a leave of absence.  A big thanks to Harry for his contributions over the past two years.
  • Director of Memberships:
    • Kate McGovern will continue in this important role.  Kate also has the directory update project.  Kate has been on the board since 2016.
  • FOCA Rep:
    • Murray Russell will continue as the FOCA Rep; a position he has held for 26 years!
  • Director of Communications & Webmaster:
    • Francine Bates will continue in the webmaster role however Fran is thankful to have Jamie Fraser helping with the web updates.  Jamie will be taking on the Buy & Sell and Lost & Found portions of the website.  
  • Community Relations:
    • Arndt Kruger will be taking over this role from Archie MacDonald.  Archie will continue as a Director having joined in 2016.

We are a very cohesive board that help each other so the lines of some roles are intermixed.  This serves us well.
