Member Voting for the 2026 GLA Board of Directors Election
The Glen Lake Association (GLA) is introducing a new, secure online voting system for the 2026 Board of Directors election. This change makes it easier for eligible members to cast their vote while ensuring the security and integrity of the election process.
Who Is Eligible to Vote?
Voting is limited to Regular Members in good standing as defined by the GLA Bylaws. Eligible voting members are riparian property owners whose 2026 membership dues were received by 11:59 p.m. on July 6, 2026.
How Voting Works
Eligible members will receive an email on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from invitations@mail.electionbuddy.com containing a secure link to their ballot. Each eligible voter will receive a unique access key that can only be used once. If you are eligible to vote and do not see the email, please check your spam or junk folder before contacting the GLA office.
As provided in the GLA Bylaws, only one vote may be cast per riparian property, even if multiple members share ownership of that property. Voting Deadline Online voting closes at 8:59 a.m. ET on Thursday, July 23, 2026. Votes must be submitted before the deadline to be counted.
2026 Candidate Slate
The 2026 candidate slate includes the names of the following recommended by the GLA Nominating Committee:
(A) Two proposed new board members for their first term:
Rob Meyer
Rob and his family enjoyed several one-week stays at the Glen Eden Resort in the early 1990s, and the hook was set! He and his wife Judy bought their home on Little Glen in 2002, expanded it in 2016, and moved in full-time in 2018. Since then, Rob has served as a Captain on the GLA Water Level Committee; has done water clarity, chlorophyll-a, and phosphorus testing on Little Glen; and volunteers regularly at the Empire Food Pantry. Before retiring to Glen Lake, Rob enjoyed a 36-year career practicing environmental and land development law, mostly at the Porter Wright law firm in Columbus, Ohio, with a 12-year interlude as General Counsel of Dominion Homes, a publicly-traded home building company based in Dublin, Ohio. He served on a number of non-profit boards in central Ohio, including the Columbus Bar Foundation, the Central Ohio Sustainability Alliance, and the Youth Entrepreneur Program, and also held several positions with the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. He is a graduate of Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs and Ohio State’s College of Law.
Daniel Silvasi
Dan’s family vacation in 1969 included a tour of beautiful northern Michigan. It was then that he first fell in love with Glen Lake and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Dan met his future wife Linda in 1982. Linda’s family has a long history at Glen Lake beginning with her parents’ honeymoon on Big Glen. They continued to vacation at the lake as their family grew and eventually bought a cottage in the early ’80s. Dan and Linda married in 1985, and in 1992, they were ecstatic to purchase a cottage at Villa Glen. Their family spent memorable summers there, and in 2014, they purchased their current home nearby in Burdickville. Dan is a retired physician. He received a degree in Physiology from Michigan State University, attended Wayne State University for medical school, and completed his residency in Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan.

He was also the Medical Director of the Operating Room and Clinical Director of Surgical Services at Troy, which is one of the highest volume surgical hospitals in the state. He was an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. He has previously served on the Board of Directors of the Michigan Society of Anesthesiologists and the Board of Directors at Lourdes Senior Community, which is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Dominican Sisters. Dan and Linda are long-time members of the Glen Lake Association, and are also members of the Glen Lake Yacht Club. Dan currently is a Captain on the GLA Water Level Committee.
