(April 9, 2020) Although social distancing requirements have halted advisory committee meetings, the Ocean Pines Elections Committee has scheduled a virtual meeting on Friday at 10 a.m. to address the 2020 OPA Board election and candidate filing deadline of May 10.

Elections Committee Chair Steve Habeger said although OPA President Doug Parks recently cancelled advisory meetings for 60 days, the mandate did provide flexibility for groups with immediate issues to address.

“Basically, this is a test drive,” he said.

Habeger said the upcoming election leaves the committee little choice but to work however it can to get the job done.

“Once the association secretary gives us the list of candidates, we have work to do,” he said.

The meeting will be conducted through Microsoft Teams video conferencing at the following link: https://www.oceanpines.org/event/elections-committee-2/?instance_id=172284.
