Image of RIRA October 2010 Meeting
Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA) Nominations Committee Chairperson Aaron Hamburger sends the following message:
Attached is the list of candidates as of 12 noon, Oct.20.It appears that as of now, Mathew Katz, who is challenging current RIRA President Frank Farance for that position, will not be seeking to retain his long held position as a Westview Common Council Delegate. Is it either RIRA President or nothing for Mr. Katz?
We now need at least 1 more candidate from Manhattan Park, 2 more from Roosevelt Landings, and 3 more from Octagon.All other residential areas have full or over-filled slates.
I'll keep you informed as more Nomination Forms come in. Next time we check the Collection Box is Thursday afternoon. As you know, the deadline for Forms is Sunday night, Oct. 24, 8 PM.
Mr. Katz is a thoughtful and valuable member of RIRA so I hope he changes his mind regarding the Westview delegate position and will be a RIRA Council Member if he wins the election for President or not. I have asked Mr. Katz for a comment on this and will update if any new information is made available.
Below is a list of the RIRA Candidates supplied by Mr. Hamburger.

Also, remember that there can be more nominees than slots allotted for a building. That's what makes it an election. In the event that there are more nominees than slots for a particular building, the candidates with less votes become alternate delegates.
UPDATE 5:20 PM: Mr Hamburger adds:
and Mr. Katz confirms that he will not be continuing as a RIRA Westview Delegate:As of 4 PM today, Thursday, we have one additional candidate:
Lisa Knox from Roosevelt Landings.
I am running exclusively for RIRA President. I’m running because I was unhappy and frustrated with the inattention to detail, the sidelining of the elected RIRA delegates to the Common Council, the lack of compliance with the RIRA Constitution and the paucity of innovation that I encountered over the last two years. I am not anxious to repeat that experience and so, I’m just running for President. As a RIRA volunteer for thirteen years, and having served the RIRA Common Council and the community in a variety of capacities, I get to do that.

Erin Feeley-Nahem's name is misspelled.
That's how she spells it after hanging out for a few hours at the bar in Trellis.
