Our Committees at Venture Out
CURRENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS ASSIGNMENTS 2022-2023 – [Click Here]
There are several standing committees which work under the direction of the Condo Board. Through the work of these dedicated committee members, much of the research and hard work that is necessary to move a project forward is accomplished.
Standing Committees:

Motion Audit Committee Terms of Reference
The Election Committee each year finds a group of dedicated volunteers who run the Annual Election in accordance with all laws and who oversee a very difficult job of tabulating all votes carefully. Venture Out’s annual elections almost always have at least a 70% return and they have been as high as 88%, an enviable election return by anyone’s standards.
Election Committee’s Terms of Reference
The Newcomers’ Committee invites all new lot owners and renters to an orientation each month, to insure that everyone is well acquainted with all that Venture Out has to offer. This dedicated group of volunteers has welcomed thousands of new residents over the years and helps everyone feel at home the minute they come to Venture Out.
The Nominating Committee has the task of seeking Condo Board Candidates each season. This might be the most difficult job out there for standing committees, searching out and interviewing candidates who are willing to devote three years of their lives to the Community, but each year they manage to field a slate of candidates who are dedicated to Venture Out’s future.
