Purpose

The Governance Committee serves as an advisory body to the Landings Management Association (LMA) Board.

Through its work, the committee helps to foster and maintain sound governance practices for all residents of the Landings community.

Governing Documents mandated by Florida statute, as well as Policies, Rules and Regulations maintained by the Landings Management Association (LMA), support the safety, harmony, and shared enjoyment of all who live, work, and visit here. They are intended to help residents understand community expectations, protect shared spaces, and contribute to a safe and respectful environment. It is a reflection of a community-forward philosophy that emphasizes education, shared responsibility, and neighborly cooperation. Each resident, household member, guest, and service provider plays an important role in maintaining the quality of life that makes The Landings a welcoming community.
