The Candidates  

Richard Bosi 

My name is Richard Bosi and reside in Park Ridge, New Jersey. I have been an owner of a unit for almost eight years.   I firmly believe in giving back to the community and I feel that my talents in accounting and finance would benefit Acadia Village Resort.  I currently serve as the Controller at medical/laboratory company in NY, I also have held various other Senior Level positions at companies, such as AT& T Wireless, XO Communications, Wireless Network Group & Strativity Group. In addition to my work experience, I served on the Council in my home town for 6 years.  Each of those 6 years, I served as the Finance Chairman and worked with all departments within the municipality overseeing the financial aspects of their organization. In addition to serving as the Finance Chairman, I was fortunate enough to sit on the town’s utility board in which Park Ridge is only 1 of 7 New Jersey communities that provides their own electric and water to their residents.   If reelected, I would view each owner as a resident, similarly as when I was serving on the council.  My focus would be to maximize each dollar spent and ensure that each dollar spent, is spent wisely.   

Over the last 3 years while on the board, we have made many capital improvements and helped steer Acadia Village through the pandemic.  Additionally, today Acadia Village is in better financial position than it was several years ago. If reelected It is my determination to continue that trend, along with additional capital improvements to make Acadia Village an even better place than it is today.  

In continuing the spirit of giving back, I am currently a Volunteer Fireman in Park Ridge, serving for the last 15 years and currently serve as Assistant Chief of the department.  

Lastly, I am Finance Professional, Civic and Community minded leader, who truly enjoys giving back to the community and others.  I have a lot to offer to the owners and employees of Acadia Village Resort and would be honored to have your support in taking Acadia Village Resorts to the next level.  

I respectfully request your consideration when voting for the Board of Directors of Acadia Village Resort and would be honored, if elected to serve on the Board of Directors.   

Thank you for your time.
