2026 Annual Meeting & Election
Dear LAHOA Members,
This is the first request from the Election Committee for LAHOA Board of Director Nominations. This year there are four (4) board seats up for election.
Ballot Nominations
“Members in good standing” who desire to compete for one of the four board seats must “Self-Nominate”.
Members cannot nominate another member, in accordance with the LAHOA Bylaw change in 2018.
All nominations must be made by email to the election committee at: election@lahoa.com
Nominations must be received by the Election Committee, no later than 11:59 PM PDT, June 5, 2026.
Voting Ballots
Once again, we will be utilizing the Election Runner voting system. This application has proven to provide the association members with a sound, secure and confidential method to cast your important and meaningful vote for the candidates that are seeking a board seat. We hope all of you will be diligent and partake in this important member right. It is your association, please be involved.
Election ballots will be sent out no later than June 13, 2026. During the voting period, please be sure to check your email regularly for updates and your voter ballot.
We will also post information and updates on the LAHOA Facebook page. Please check there from time to time during the voting period.
Bylaw Changes
Each year at the annual board meeting, the newly elected board will review all submitted Bylaw change requests.
The process was changed slightly last year to better follow the by-laws. Members can submit Bylaw change requests for the board’s review by submitting them directly to Louis Magnifico, LAHOA President at louism@lahoa.com
The link to the LAHOA By-Laws is: https://lahoa.com/bylaws/
Bylaw change requests for the annual meeting must be received by the President, no later than 11:59 PM PDT, on May 31, 2026. As all By-law changes must be published to the membership at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the annual meeting this will allow the President time to do so by June 6, 2026.
Annual Meeting
The meeting will be held at The Rinks in Lakewood in the upstairs community room between rink B and rink C. The Date & Time of the Annual Meeting is set for Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 12:00 PM.
REMEMBER: All board member nominations must be submitted to the Election Secretary no later than 11:59 PM PDT, June 5, 2026. All By-Laws changes must be submitted to the LAHOA President no later than 11:59 PM PDT, on May 31, 2026.
