GET
INVOLVED!
Are you looking for a way to get more involved in your community? Run for a Director position
with the Green Trails Improvement Association (GTIA). GTIA is your homeowners association.
The GTIA board consists of 15 directors – one per area – who are tasked with the job of keeping
Green Trails’ common areas beautiful. Becoming a board member offers a unique volunteer opportunity to make a visible difference in your community.
This year, 6 of the 15 Board of Directors positions are up for election. At the beginning of October, an election ballot is sent to every homeowner in the areas up for election. If you don’t know
the area in which you reside, check the mailing label on the back of this newsletter. Areas are
referenced by the letters A through O.
The following areas in Green Trails will conduct an election for their GTIA Board of Directors
representative for the duration of the designated term:

What does GTIA do?
GTIA’s main responsibility is to maintain 16 of the 26 miles of paths that wind their way through
the Green Trails subdivision. The other 10 miles are maintained primarily by the Lisle Park
District. GTIA also maintains 198 lights along those 16 miles of trails, and maintains the areas
around the 5 Green Trails welcome signs. GTIA operated on an approximate budget of $425,000
for 2012.
What do board members do?
Board members meet in the evenings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Meetings typically are
held at Kennedy Junior High, but the location may vary and any changes in location are printed
in the Pathfinder newsletter and on the home page of the website (www.greentrails.org), before
the meeting. The meetings can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Board members also
serve on committees where their talents can best be put to use. Committees may meet a few
times per year.
Why are there so many openings for board members?
Typically, 5 board positions (onethird) are up for election each year.
However, due to a lack of candidates
in previous elections, some board
members have been appointed to
their positions. Appointed board
members live in Green Trails, but
do not necessarily live in the area
that they represent. These positions,
therefore, are put up for election. If
you live in an area whose position is
not up for election and you want to
be considered for an appointed position, please contact management.
If you would like to know more about
what is involved in being a board
member or need more information
on becoming a candidate, please
call management at 630-210-8353
or contact the current board member
for your area. To see the Board of Directors in action, come to one of our
meetings at 7:30 p.m. on the second
Tuesday of every month. Watch the
Pathfinder or check the website for
information about the location of
the next meeting. Your involvement
makes a difference in Green Trails!
YES! I would like to be a candidate in the

Stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.
You only live once; but if you work it right, once is enough.
There is always hope when people are forced to listen to both sides.
You can’t change the past but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.
Friends double our joys, divide our sorrows.

Great Horned Owlets
Spotted in Green Trails!
This photo shows a fledgling great horned owl
that was taken in Green Trails in the Surrey
Ridge area. Resident David Most had watched
this owl and his sibling for a couple of weeks
while they were scavenging for food their first
few days out of the nest and then calling for their
parents each night. David said, “It was great to
see this wildlife right in the backyard.”
