Presidents Corner
When our current board first began in December 2021, we knew that based on the conditions from the last several years of both the Tides and Driftwood building, that we had a lot of uphill work to tackle. Despite the load of "to do's" in front of us, and despite the unnecessary chatter saying "it" can't be done, we jumped in headfirst and went straight to work. As a board, we have the privilege and honor daily, in volunteering ourselves for the betterment of the Tides/Driftwood Homeowners Association.
On a regular basis we communicate in a group text and via
telephone calls. Several times throughout the week, we are on a zoom meeting. At the spur of the moment, we are continuously shifting our schedules or doing a group call with various companies/organizations. This is on top of the daily emails, important requests/meetings/phone calls/deadlines. The undertaking is no light task.
Why did I desire to spend an entire column speaking about the Board?...well simply because we need you to understand that everything is a process, and a big plan with major shifts is in play. Just like a bow and arrow, to propel forward it has to go backwards first. The backwards is not a indication of any negativity; it is about the element of change. We need you to know that we have not wavered in our commitment of making Tides/Driftwood the absolute best that it can be.
A well-known man once said, “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
We are open ears and welcome all of your feedback and constructive criticism. We also appreciate your patience in understanding that we came into this new year with a lot of issues and changes needed.
To ensure our communication is on par, we will be keeping the website updated, in addition to providing quarterly newsletters/HOA member meetings.
With Much Gratitude Appreciation to Our Homeowners and Especially the Board,
Tia Simmons, Board President
