2013 Leadership Change

Since our May 11th meeting, the sub-committee and a nominating committee (selected by the sub-committee) have been hard at work and have finalized their recommendation for the reorganization of ECCL as well as screening and presenting candidates for the positions in the new organization. The organization recommendation will be presented to the membership at the September 14th meeting for approval. Linked is a detailed organization chart and position descriptions.
 
John Goodrich, Chair of both the Transition Committee and the Nominating Committee presented the nominees to the membership at the September 14th meeting. Elected were:
 

Jim Boesch (Transportation); Phil Douglas (Environment); John Goodrich (Government); Nick Batos (Chairperson); Marilyn Edwards (Communications); Bob Lienesch (Financial); Roger Strelow (Community Planning) were elected Sept. 14, 2012 to the new organizational ECCL.

Chairman Don Eslick will be stepping down Jan. 1, 2013 after more than 10 years of directing Estero in a direction that makes Estero the most organized unincorporated areas in Lee County. Eslick has singled handedly gathered people around him to carry on his mission in making Estero not only a wonderful place to live, but one of the most environment minded areas.

Community Participation

As more and more of Estero's residential communities have been turned over to the residents, we have asked the resident elected Boards of each community to designate one voting member and one alternate member to the ECCL. Many residential community Boards have designated their members of the ECCL.

Several developer controlled residential communities have ECCL members who have been appointed in accordance with the ECCL By-laws. They will be replaced by resident elected Board-designated delegates when the homeowners take over governance of the community. In addition five community organizations are members of the ECCL.

All ECCL delegates report back to their respective community boards and residents directly and through their community media systems ranging from email networks to newsletters to websites or television channels. In addition all ECCL activities are widely reported through the monthly Estero Development Report.
