As the vice chair for the planning and strategy committee, I attended our first pre-budget hearing at Wild Lake this Thursday night. It was very interesting to see how our residents see CA; how our programs benefit their life and what they expect from CA. There is a huge responsibility as a board member to make an informed decision on the next budget.

It is really important for us to get residents engaged into the decision-making process.

Some board members will visit each village in the following weeks and attend local village’s meetings.
