The Woodlands Township is now accepting applications from community residents wishing to seek a position on its board of directors. This year's election is scheduled for Nov. 5.
Positions 5, 6 and 7 are up for election this year, and with the filing date having been open just three days, there already will be changes to the makeup of the board.
Position 5 director Nelda Blair announced her plans Aug. 8 not to seek re-election. Blair was appointed to the Township Center Improvement District, the predecessor to The Woodlands Township Board of Directors, in 1996 by the Montgomery County Commissioner's Court. Blair served as chairman of the township board for three consecutive terms.
"Our community is such a special place, and I feel confident that the Township Board will continue to work toward a high quality of life for our residents, balanced with business and tourism to keep us financially strong," Blair said in a prepared statement. "I am excited about expanding my other interests and taking advantage of several new opportunities. The public speaking engagements in my schedule are a source of great enjoyment, so I will devote more time and energy to that area."
