On why he believes he would be an asset to the Board of Directors:
“The community deserves proactive and involved Board members, and I intend to put in the time and effort it takes to be one. I am committed to being a principled, fiduciary, focused on responsible operations, improvement, upkeep, care, and maintenance of all common areas, and upholding, the deed restrictions, and guidelines for the long-term benefit of the community. For many of us, our homes are our largest investment. Our mutual duty as members of this association serves our common goals of maintaining the values of our largest asset and of creating a valued neighborhood."

Above all, I love our community and our resident members and would serve our community as the next Board member with your support and your vote for me.

Tim Downing
Tim has lived in Lakes at NorthPointe for 13 years. He is a Boeing 777 pilot for United Airlines.
On why he believes he would be an asset to the Board of Directors:
"As a long time resident, I have watched the neighborhood grow and develop, and have a vested interest in seeing that it continues to do so in a positive, productive and lucrative manner. I have served in multiple committees at work. My longest tenure was with the professional standards committee, which provides conflict resolution between employees in an effort to resolve their issues before getting to human resources or upper management, which typically results in disciplinary action, or even termination. I think this skill would be useful in a Board of Directors setting."

On why he believes he would be an asset to the Board of Directors:
"I am hands-on and willing to do the work to improve the neighborhood and solve issues. I was able to help the current Board by getting the KnockBox issue for the gated section fixed. I called the fire department, got the necessary information, and helped install the KnockBox. I was even able to get the fire department to come out to certify it, as well as check the other gates. This is a major neighborhood safety issue that I was able to help solve, thanks to a Facebook post. I am persistent and will do what it takes to get the right people moving towards a resolution."
