On Thursday, Dec. 5, the Strathmore Gate West homeowners’ association held its annual election, resulting in the election of a new board of directors. The newly elected board includes David Leal as president, Christine Young as vice president, Laurie Menard as secretary, John Duemig as treasurer and Nat Weisenstein as director.
The election took place at the Strathmore Gate West Clubhouse. This highly sought-after, age-restricted community in the heart of Royal Palm Beach is home to nearly 280 active homeowners.
Founded in 1981, Strathmore Gate West continues to thrive, and under this new leadership will continue to improve. Duemig read from a letter constructed in part as a campaign resolution with the highest goal being more community member inclusion on all decisions moving forward, as well as transparency and communication being the focus.
The new board is committed to enhancing the quality of life for residents, providing valuable services, advocating for the community’s needs, and ensuring the continued beauty and value of the neighborhood while trying to maintain a fiscally sound budget.
The biggest takeaway of the night was that a “special assessment” and a $1 million loan that was being considered for repairs, put in front of the community by the outgoing board of directors, was tabled. The new board will regroup and in 2025 address the concerns shared by residents.
