New board elected officers for 2021 were announced at the March 2 meeting of the Greater Pine Island Civic Association, as well as ongoing discussions from the survey intended to prioritize issues for islanders.
The officers are Helen Fox, president; Nadine Slimak, vice president; Scott Wilkinson, recording secretary; and Mike Sweeney, treasurer.
“My aim as president is to work with the community on issues that you all have identified as most important to Greater Pine Island residents,” said Fox.
According to survey responses, the most important issues are water quality, traffic, over-development and road and waterway safety. These survey results, said Fox, were sent to Lee County Commissioner Kevin Ruane in an effort to partner with him on tackling some of the issues.
