A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE

A Woman of Substance

What does it mean to known as a women of substance?  The dictionary lists a variety of meanings. One is “substantial or solid character or quality” . Based on this definition, a woman of character is consistent, has more to her than meets the eye and has a variety of interests outside and within her home and family. She is interesting to get to know; she possesses a depth of personality of character.

Beside virtue and other character qualities, a women of substance has knowledge. This type of women takes to the time to educate herself fully about the issues that she is involved in. She will know about the concerns of residents in her Village and will want to take action to do all she can to help.  She will be aware of and participate in the operations of UCO because that is what a dedicated women of substance would do.

These qualities are what Phyllis Richland, candidate for UCO V.P.  brings to our Village.  She knows the rules and regulations of condo living.  She knows the rules by which associations must conform.  She has been a VP for 5 UCO Administrations.  She has been an ardent advocate for the elderly.   Because of her ability to get to the heart of issues quickly and her ability to articulate difficult issues in language that is easily understood, she was appointed to the West Palm Beach Fire Department Advisory Board.

Phyllis Richland is of strong character, conviction, beauty of spirt, moral and principally strong, steadfast and humble.  What else is there to say, when you have a person of character such as Phyllis, your decision to who of vote for in the upcoming UCO election is a “no brainer.”

Muhammed Bello Usman wrote a poem entitled Women of Substance  I am sure that he had a women like Phyllis Richland in mind when he penned  the following:

Strong and Courageous

Focused and Determined

More of a leader than a follower

Bold and Firm

And leaves nothing to chance

She sets heroic goals as short term

Views it from the angle of infinite possibility

With courage and perseverance

She lays foundation upon the peak of an average man’s success

She lives by choice and not by chance

Vote for Phyllis Richland for UCO VicePresident
