Former Director Kay Williams was selected to fill a vacancy on the Recreation Centers of Sun City West Governing Board in a special meeting Aug. 9.

Williams will serve until June 30, 2023, filling a slot created when Donna Maloney, citing personal reasons, resigned at the Annual Meeting in June.

Board President Tim Hurley said he nominated Williams because he wanted someone with experience who can hit the ground running given the short duration of the appointment. Per the Bylaws, those appointed to fill vacancies due to resignation serve until the end of the fiscal year (June 30), at which time any additional positions will be decided by voters.

Maloney’s term was July 2021 through June 2024, so voters will choose who fills the final year of her term.

Williams served a three-year term on the Board beginning in July 2013. Her array of RCSCW involvement includes chairing the Properties Committee for three years and chairing the 2019 Governing Board Election Committee. She also served on the Long-Range Planning Committee, four Space Allocation committees, the former HR Committee, the R.H. Johnson Aquatics Center Renovation Committee, and the GM Search Committee.

“I come to you with a lot of experience and energy, and I don’t have pet agendas,” she said. “I really care about what happens with the future of Sun City West, and that’s why I’m interested in serving the Owner-Members.”

The Board affirmed Hurley’s recommendation and approved her confirmation unanimously. The Board is now back up to its full nine members, all of whom are unpaid volunteers.
