LVR, described as the largest existing property association in Southern Nevada, announced the outcome of its annual officer and committee member selection, noting that Stephanie Grant will serve as president‑elect for the coming year.

He declined to step down, and the suit was later dismissed. In November, multiple LVR members filed formal complaints with the Nevada Attorney General’s office, a development previously reported by the Review‑Journal. More than 50 members protested in August 2024 against certain individuals remaining on the board of directors despite internal and third‑party investigations into alleged election tampering. Sources speaking to the Review‑Journal claimed that LVR CEO Wendy DiVecchio interfered with the election and conspired to help Britney Gaitan win the vice‑president seat over Grant. DiVecchio received a 30‑day suspension over the allegations, was subsequently terminated, and has since sued LVR and several high‑ranking current and former members concerning her dismissal. The firm Greenberg Traurig was engaged to conduct a third‑party investigation into the election‑tampering claims, but its findings have not been released to the public.
