Sun City West residents and dues-paying rec center members are encouraged to run for the Recreation Centers of Sun City West Governing Board.

Candidate packets will be available beginning Wednesday, Nov. 1.

Residents may pick up packets between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays in the RH Johnson Recreation Center administrative offices (Building G3), at 19803 R.H. Johnson Blvd.

The board is comprised of nine residents who serve as the community’s volunteer governing body. The board sets policies under which the association operates. Each year, three new members are elected to replace the outgoing volunteer directors who have completed their three-year terms.
