The Oakland Mills Community Association (OMCA) is a non-profit civic organization whose purpose is to promote the health, safety, common good and social welfare of all its village members (owners of property within Oakland Mills' (OM) three neighborhoods, Steven's Forest, Talbott Springs, Thunder Hill, and tenants, who reside on property within Oakland Mills under a written lease).

OMCA's Board of Directors and its representative to the Columbia Council are elected by the members to manage the business and affairs of OMCA.

So what are the OMCA elections anyway?
On Sat., April 24, 2010 members of the Oakland Mills Community Association (owners and renters of property in the village, that's you!) elected eight residents to serve one-year terms on the OMCA Board of Directors. OMCA Board meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. Members of the Board serve on the Architectural Committee and on various Board committees, advocate for village needs and create opportunities for residents to become active in the life of the community.

Also members will elect one resident to serve a one-year term as Oakland Mills representative to the Columbia Council/Columbia Association (CA) Board. The CA Board meets the fourth Thursday of the month, and determines Columbia Association policies and spending priorities for your assessment dollars.

The following policy is in effect. Please make sure that all campaigning for you are aware of the policy.

"Candidate’s volunteers who serve in any capacity for The Oakland Mills Community Association as elected members or as volunteers (with the exception of the members of the Election Monitor Committee) can actively campaign for or against candidates. This must be done separately from their volunteer roles for the Association.”

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!
Members holding 10% of the total votes eligible to be cast shall constitute a quorum for this election.
