Re: New Committee Member

Thanks for the advice.  I don't want to seem like the neighbourhood “Gladys Kravitz” but I was on the committee for 10 years and I do know every repair, how many times something has been repairs, who has done what, who hasn't done anything, and who is a major problem and needs to be watched.

I would not be comfortable being on a committee that has had to call in the strata lawyers, especially when the person on whom the lawyer was called is now on the committee with the new guy.  That would be something I would want to know (especially since the trouble did not stop there).

I have previously offered my services as an “information officer” who goes and finds all the relevant strata info from all my contacts (ie all of you on the forum!) and provide them with the means to verify the information and make their decisions.  But the last EC would then just leave it to me, or not get back to me.   I don't mind the doing the background work but wasn't getting any support for the action hence I am not on the EC. 

So perhaps I could ask the new guy if he could use my services in some way.  Without seeming like a grumpy old fart who has seen too much!
