My name is Jim McDaniel. I am the current HLA treasurer. I started my work career as a police officer, but most of my professional life was spent working my way up from laborer to ultimately the General manager of one of the largest dairy manufacturing companies in the world, having responsibility for a manufacturing facility with over 500 employees and a half a billion dollar budget. I have served on several boards of directors over the years including non profit, for profit, city government, and NGO.
While my wife Sherry and I are currently part time residents here in the Homestead we have attended all the monthly board meetings while we are here for the past 7 years. We are both very involved in volunteering here in the homestead including in both board activities and waterworks.
My goal while I am in the treasures position is to provide transparency and understanding of the finances to the board as well as all the Homestead community members by upgrading to and utilizing modern banking and communication tools. I also want to be sure when my term in the treasurer’s position ends, that I leave it with the job duties simplified, clearly defined, and understandable so that the volunteer who follows me can easily take over. Most importantly I want to be sure that our community becomes and remains financially solvent through fully understanding our expenses, being as efficient as possible, and recommending appropriate water fees and yearly dues.
I love living here in the Homestead and am very optimistic about our future and lifestyle here. Thank you to everyone that trusts me with this very important position and supports me in this role.
