ONE NEW MEMBER APPOINTED TO LPN BOARD

By Susan Thompson | Lake Panorama Times

The Lake Panorama Association has owned the LPN golf course since 1977. It purchased the LPN conference center in 2005. At that time, the LPA board established the legal corporate entity known as LPN, LLC to manage this wholly owned subsidiary. 

As a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization, LPA is required to pay taxes only on gains from land sales. Revenues from dues and assessments are not taxable. Keeping the LPA and LPN, LLC operations separate protects the LPA’s nonprofit status.

To keep this separation, the LPA board of directors created and appointed the LPN board of managers, which held its first meeting in October 2015. The LPA board provides oversight of the LPN, LLC board. The LPN, LLC board oversees LPN policies and direction. 

At the LPA board’s Dec. 16 meeting, one new person was appointed and two reappointed to the LPN board of managers. Board terms are three years, and members can serve two consecutive terms.

Shanell Wagler completed her two-term limit in December, and Matt Hawkins was appointed to fill that position. Chris Duree has served one term and was reappointed to a second three-year term. 

Barry Monaghan was appointed in March 2022 to complete the term of Jim Koch. Monaghan was then appointed to his first full three-year term beginning in January 2023 and was reappointed to a second three-year term at the December LPA board meeting. 

Others on the seven-member board are Kathy DeLucca, Paula Hansen, Galen Redshaw and Tim Rickert. Monaghan currently serves as president with Duree as vice president and DeLucca as secretary/treasurer. Officer appointments for 2026 will take place at the board’s March meeting.
