Candidate Lance Philips has withdrawn from the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association Board of Directors election. “I reached out to CLPOA to withdraw my consideration for the board,” Philips said. “Too many scheduling conflicts to start the process so the time is not right for me now.”
There will be two vacant seats on the board in May when the terms of Joe Kamashian and Jim Barringham end. Philips is one of eight residents who announced their candidacies earlier this month. Rita Bendlin, Greg Doherty, Carl Gardner, Kalon Morris, Alexis Prince, Tony Schwarzman, and Bill Van Vleet are still in the race and are hoping to be elected to the board.
In the weeks leading up to the election, Canyon Lake Insider will feature a series of questions to the candidates. During this period, residents will have the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates and learn what they hope to accomplish if elected to serve on the board.
