Election Updates: CVE Master Management Seats Filled by Default, Competitive Race for CenClub

Leadership transitions are underway at Century Village East, with candidates submitting for positions on the CVE Master Management and CenClub boards.

While CVE Master Management faces a lack of competition, CenClub is gearing up for a contested election.

In CVE Master Management, three current board members—Jeff Kohn of Lyndhurst I, Joe Roboz of Islewood D, and Michael Routburg of Upminster E—are the only candidates for four open seats. With no fourth contender, all three incumbents are automatically reelected to their positions. The board must decide whether to appoint someone to fill the fourth seat or leave it empty until the next election in January 2026.

In contrast, the CenClub board election is drawing more interest, with four candidates running for two open seats. Incumbents Michael Rackman of Berkshire C and Stanley Spitzer of Richmond A are seeking reelection, facing challengers Joe Coppola of Ellesmere B and Eric Gagnon of Durham A. This competitive race offers residents a chance to shape the future direction of CenClub leadership.

All the biographical statements submitted by the candidates can be read on COOCVE’s website at: coocve.com. A candidates’ forum will be held January 6th in the Clubhouse.  The forum is open for all residents to attend, but only COOCVE directors are permitted to ask questions. The election will be held January 9th through the 17th.  Only COOCVE directors are allowed to vote.
