April was the one-year anniversary of Rebecca Zazueta’s move from business manager to general manager amidst many unusual events in the life of Windsor Gardens. If you read “From the General Manager” in April's Windsor Life, you got a glimpse of how complicated and involved her position is. In one month, Rebecca and the WG team navigated changes in the property tax payments, an annual meeting and budget ratification vote, changes in the pandemic requirements, a vaccine clinic, snowstorms and sub-zero weather, sewer line backups, changing banks, negotiating insurance policies and a 40th-year employee anniversary celebration. I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg of the issues she and her team handled in March, let alone in her one year as general manager! In this year she also guided her replacement as the business manager and the new position of community life manager. And she sympathetically helped the staff through the death of a long-time employee and continued to be an excellent example of a dedicated leader. The board of directors is delighted to celebrate this anniversary and looks forward to many more years of benefiting from Rebecca’s skills in leadership. If you have a chance, thank her for her time, sacrifices and caring attention to all the issues of this community. Michele Compton, Board President WINDSOR
