Candelas is an all inclusive community, we want to hear the residents ideas, thoughts and suggestions. 

Joining a committee is a good way to express your ideas and an outlet to have your voice heard. 

Committees are resident ran, they will need someone to take lead and make sure monthly meetings are set up, notes are taken, projects discussed, and a representative will need to come to the Board meetings to give updates if there are updates or any recommendations.
