 May 2018 Neighborhood Association Elections
Each May, the Neighborhood Association holds elections for its all-volunteer board.
Some of the board positions available are Secretary, Treasurer, Land Use, Communications, SE Uplift Representative, and more — including delegate positions to fit your passion (emergency preparedness, community garden, youth and family, and more!).
There’s no easier way to get to know your neighborhood than by volunteering on a committee or as a board member. (Foster-Powell residents need to attend just three meetings to be eligible to serve on the board.)
Put your ideas to work and pick up a few new skills along the way!
Want to learn more? Contact us. We’d love to meet you! |
