Board members are not paid for their services on the Booard of Directors. They are provided housing for 2 or 3 nights during the Board meetings and are reimbursed for transportation expenses and meals during that time, IF vouchers are submited with receipts for those expenses.

If the Board members own the week that the meeting occur, they are not reimbursed for their maintenance fees and taxes.

Your Board of Directors is composed for volunteers who are not compensated for their time and expertise and they do a good job representing their fellow owners. They are NOT getting a free vacation on our lovely Sanibel Island.

Speaking for my wife and myself only, we having been coming to Casa Ybel since 1980 and I am completing my 5th year as a director. I had never received free housing until last October and I have asked for reimbursement for expenses for about half of the board meetings since I was elected.

how many times a year do you meet

We meet in April or May for the annual meeting and again in October for the budget meeting. The meetings are on Monday or Tuesday. The IJK Association meets in the same time period also on Monday or Tuesday, but not the same day, so we alternate days.

I have always taken the view that the board members serve as a "Labour of Love", and that is why we appreciate the time and dedication that they put in. While some owners may not always agree with all their decisions, those decisions and deliberations are made with the best of intentions for the benefit of the owners.
