Coto de Caza BOD's involved in transparency, or committed to it?

June 19, 2007

Given that certain reporters either do not know the meaning of the word paraphrase, (or misplace), or simply define the terms as they please to promote their own agenda, we figured that it is best to define the term commitment, since the CZ board president has gone on record as being committed to transparency.

It so happens that a call placed today to Senator Kuehl’s office inquiring on why Senator Kuehl is protecting homeowner association management companies and boards of directors AND NOT THE OWNERS, the person answering the phone defined the term “stakeholders” as management companies and board of of directors!

Commitment- Defined

a) a pledge or promise; obligation: We have made a commitment to pay our bills on time.

b) The state of being bound emotionally or intellectually to a course of action or to another person or persons: a deep commitment to liberal policies; a profound commitment to the family.

Commitment- An application

We like to use the All American Ham and Eggs Breakfast as an analogy to differentiate between involvement and commitment: We say that the chicken was involved in the breakfast, whereas the pig was committed – the question then is, will the 2007-2008 Coto de Caza board of directors be involved in transparency, or committed to it?
