From the Community: A Look at the AVCA Board of Directors

Wednesday night's annual Aliso Viejo Community Association delegate meeting followed the registration and sixth vote on the Savannah's Organic Ranch lease. Three of the four candidates running for the two open seats on the board attended the meeting.

They addressed the delegates with a two minute speech about their goals, if elected. After the votes were tallied, Ray De Leon, past AVCA president was elected, and Jim Martin, past AVCA secretary, was re-elected. De Leon has remained active in the community by volunteering for both AVCA and City events, and attending AVCA board and city council meetings. Martin has served as AVCA board secretary for the past two years, and was again elected to that position for the next term. 

Other offices that were determined during Wednesday's meeting were Ross Chun as President, Katie Koster as Vice President, Ray De Leon as Treasurer and Lisa Naegle as Member At Large.

With the results of the Savannah's Organic Ranch vote concluded, the AVCA board will have some exciting times and hard work ahead. The community can look forward to a year of great events, and opportunities to volunteer and contribute to the quality of life in Aliso Viejo that is the envy of the surrounding cities in South Orange County.
