Notice # 8 / 2016-17


Nominations for Executive Committee 2017-2018


  1. The Fort Oasis Apartment complex is managed and maintained by Fort Oasis Maintenance Private Limited (FOMPL) -- a company owned and operated by the builder Fort Group -- through an outsourced property management firm Colliers.
  2. Fort Oasis Apartment Owners Association (FOAOA), a voluntary body of owners, helps oversee the task performed by FOMPL and Colliers and protects the rights of the owners.
  3. FOAOA is run by an Executive Committee consisting of 24 members that is elected by the general body of the FOAOA at its AGM.
  4. The Executive Committee for 2016-17 hereby invites members of FOAOA to nominate themselves for the Executive Committee for 2017-18. 2016-17. ​Owners , who are members of FOAOA and have paid their Annual Subscription for FY 16-17  are eligible for Nomination. EC members are welcome to nominate themselves but newer and more active members are earnestly requested to join the EC and participate in the management of the complex.
  5. Please note that while the EC is a voluntary body, it is the only forum that fights for the rights of the owners and by joining the EC you are only helping to protect your own investment in the complex.
  6. Everybody is busy and has his own business and profession to run. But managing the complex is extremely important as otherwise you yourself will not be able to live here in peace. Choosing to stay away from the EC and hoping that some other owner will fight for your rights and help maintain the complex would be rather foolish thing to do.
  7. Please download the Nomination form from http://bit.ly/FOAOA-Nomination  or collect the same from Property Management Office and submit the same to the President / Vice President / Secretary / Treasurer or at the Property Management office by 30th April 2017.
