members meet
with me at the
office or over coffee at Posada Java
(Posada Java has great staff, good
coffee, and tasty treats!) The latter
encounters are mostly fun, but not
always. All conversations are important; sometimes they are a bit awkward and not necessarily comfortable.
Member concerns run the gamut of
all things GVR: money (annual dues,
tenant fees and guest fees) to pool
temperatures, concert queuing lines,
handicapped parking; and sports
courts (think tennis, pickleball).
I’m frequently the say-so of last

thing on their mind or to get
off their chest, and it really
doesn’t matter if it’s about
what happened five years
ago or this morning. If I’m
available and uncommitted
with prior GVR business, I’m
there. An essential aspect
of my job requires listening
and learning, problem-solving when I can, and clarifying
policies and procedures
when I can’t.
Recently, I had a most
interesting if not uniquely
different meeting experience with members who
have been active in GVR in
various capacities through
the years. Most live in Green
Valley year-round, but at
least one snowbird was in
the group. They explained
that they supported a vibrant
and financially sound GVR,
and asked me about certain
corporate actions (and some
in-action) that occurred
within the past year. As
members in good standing
and homeowners of GVR
deed-restricted properties,
they voiced shared concern
about what they view as barriers to progress. Their goal,
they said, was to establish
an education and advocacy
group for corporate GVR actions that look to the future
and bring value to members.
It was no surprise that
they started-off talking
about pickleball (only one of
the group admitted playing
pickleball on occasion). They
cited recent data and news
stories about how pickleball brings value to active
adult communities and
mentioned the Green Valley
News’ young sports writer,
Christopher Boan. Boan
wrote in late December 2014
that more pickleball courts
was one of five things that
Santa could bring to meet
increasing demand and ‘improve all things sports and
recreation-related in Green
Valley’ (see ‘Five Things…’.
December 24, 2014 issue,
p. A10). The group couldn’t
understand why the only
ideas that surfaced in the
Outdoor Racquet Sports
Task Force were either to
repurpose other existing
GVR venues or squeeze a
couple of pickleball courts
into a neighborhood GVR
site. They pointed out that
while interest in pickleball
play in our town is growing
by leaps and bounds, golf
participation – formerly a
major draw to Green Valley
(even though GVR owns no
golf courses, thank goodness!) – has apparently
waned here as it has across

candidates about their
experience with corporate governance and
skill sets that would
complement current
Board assets for election
to the Board in 2015, as
is the practice of other
nonprofits. They embraced the need for a
comprehensive reserve
fund system that puts
monies away for future
needs and rainy days,
but questioned whether
enough money would be
applied to reserves for
new and different needs,
in addition to capital
replacements.
I am inspired by GVR
members who look to
the future and embrace
progress, adding value to
membership, and advocate for clearly defined
roles for governance and
staff, and I appreciated
XNLV193139
America (see Economist.
‘Handicapped’. December 20, 2014, p. 108).
They asked some tough
questions: What does
GVR plan to do that will
contribute to Green
Valley being the destination of choice for active
adults and retirees?
Why is GVR resistant to
spending any money in
a manner that brings
added value to our community and provides
service to a large swath
of members?
Moving to other topics, this group showed
a good grasp of the
legal duty of Board
members to act in the
best interests of the
Corporation (instead of
representing their own
or parochial interests).
They questioned why
GVR chose not to screen
the hard questions. With
more than 33 years in
nonprofit management,
I have a good feel for
policy governance and
how the role of volunteer leaders differs from
those of staff. In brief,
the Board sets policy
and staff executes said
policy. What is sometimes missing from this
paradigm is the assertion of a collective will to
want to make a difference. When you add
differences in individual
attitudes and interests,
and a mindset of plenty
versus a mindset of
scarcity, it gets complicated. Is the glass halffull or half-empty? For
the ‘for progress’ folks
with whom I met, the
glass was clearly halffull, but it was only halffull. They expect a lot
from GVR leadership, me
included, and I’m okay

Once this was accomplished, language of the

consistency with state and

Ultimately, the final
decision regarding Bylaws’

Rationale: Allows for
three things:
• Removes the word
“employees” from Board
responsibilities. Employee
matters are the responsibility of the Chief Executive
Officer, not the Board.
• Includes a requirement
to make a contribution each
year to financial reserves as
part of the annual budget
approval process.
• Changes approval
requirement for these actions from 7 directors to “a
majority of Directors in office,” enabling the Board to
act in the event that there
are less than 7 directors in
office at a given time.

Valley Fever: An invisible threat to dogs & cats
Early detection is the key to treatment!
Valley Fever is an often unrecognized disease prevalent year around in Arizona. This fungal disease
is treatable when caught early, however can be fatal if left undetected and untreated. Valley Fever is
nonexistent outside the southwest, so people who travel from out of state with pets that become ill
must let their veterinarian know they visited this region.
Facts about Valley Fever:
• It affects dogs, cats, other animals and humans.
• The many signs include coughing, fever, reduced appetite, lethargy, depression, limping,
weight loss and “slowing down.”
• Pets suspected of having Valley Fever should immediately see their vet for evaluation and testing.
What you need to know about Valley Fever
Open to ALL pet owners (Please leave pets at home.)

room where trainers will demonstrate how to use equipment. Please wear appropriate clothes and
shoes. If you are not interested in participating in the introduction and only want to learn how to
use equipment, please arrive around 45 minutes after the beginning of the class. Fitness Centers are

There’s a huge advantage to
groups obtaining “club status” at
GVR. Just ask Lee Curtis and the
GVR Amigas Club.
Amiga in Spanish means “girlfriend,” and according to their website, the Amigas Club is “A GVR Club
for women to meet new friends,
join Interest Groups, and explore the
treasures near Green Valley.”
Approximately two years ago,
club president Curtis and a small
group of former “Newcomers”
decided to form their own club that
is more flexible and accommodating than the “Newcomers” model
that had been in place for over two
decades.
The original “Newcomers Club”
conducted only two events per
year. Their spring event was a fund
raiser, and their fall orientation was
when new women were allowed to
join and divide into several smaller
interest groups that operated
separately from the whole. Because the Newcomers Club was
not an official GVR club, they had
to pay for meeting space, limiting
the number of events per year they
could sponsor.
Having “club status” at GVR
allows the Amigas Club to reserve
space for free at any GVR multipurpose meeting room. They now
conduct four potluck luncheons
per year, host monthly coffees on
Saturdays and have monthly “Meet
and Greet” socials where women
may attend and/or join the club
throughout the year! Like New-
BOARD CERTIFIED Internal Medicine
Lee Curtis,
president of the GVR Amigas Club
comers, the Amigas have small
Interest Group activities such as
bird watching, walking, book club,
outings to museums, events with
spouses and more.
“Allowing women to join year
round and inviting winter visitors
to join us really has grown our
club,” said Curtis. “We have a more
formal structure to our organization greatly improving our ability to
conduct business and plan events.”
Curtis emphasized that the sole
purpose of the GVR Amigas Club
is to help women make friends.
To find out more about the club
and year round activities, go to
their website at www.gvramigas.
org. For information on how your
group can obtain “club status” at
