Faulk To Assume Ahloa Presidency

Posted January 1st 1970

Warren Faulk, the incoming president of the Avalon Home and Land Owners Association, already has a good grasp on the group’s core values and history of the AHLOA.

“The AHLOA is a long-term organization that was founded in 1961,” he said. “It’s been around for quite a while and it is an honor to serve as president.”

Members of the association will officially approve the new board Aug. 9 at the annual meeting. Faulk and the new board members will start their positions on Sept. 1.

“Officially, we have a nominating committee,” said current AHLOA president Tony Newshel. “A group of the board members solicits, searches, and presents, to the rest of our board, recommendations for new trustees and officers. We present that as a recommended list to our membership. Hopefully, come August 9, the AHLOA members will rubber stamp the recommendations and everyone will move into their new roles.”

Newshel will fill a new role himself.

“The board created a position called Immediate Past President,” he said. “So I’ll actually be rejoining the board as a helper and adviser to the rest of the new officers.”

Newshel has simple advice for Faulk and all of the new board members.

“Always keep Avalon at the forefront of all your thinking,” he said. “Be as welcoming as possible to other members. We measure our success by the degree of our membership. Always be on the lookout for folks willing to join and become active.”

Faulk, an AHLOA member since 2001, notes “There is a very talented group of officers and trustees. Whether it be the public or private sector, finance, education … there are so many people with great experience. Getting the opportunity to work with them and hear their ideas has been the best part of it.”

AHLOA’S annual meeting is Aug. 9 from 9-10am at the Avalon Community Hall. Doors open at 8:30am for a light breakfast. All are welcome to attend to hear Mayor John Corristin’s State of the Borough Address, a Q&A with Business Administrator Scott Wahl and Police Chief Jeff Christopher, and participate in the election of new AHLOA board members.
