BECAUSE WE INCREASED THE SIZE OF OUR ELECTED BOARD THIS YEAR (from 11 elected Directors to 15), WE WILL FILL A NUMBER OF DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' SEATS THIS YEAR.

THERE ARE 4 OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED, AND A TOTAL OF 9 DIRECTORS TO BE ELECTED.

 

A Candidate Guide that lists all the candidates up for election will be available to the public on Friday, October 11, 2019.
WHY YOU?
For 2020, we are particularly eager to bring expertise and interests in management, finances, creative placemaking, transportation / infrastructure, and land use and development.

We also need diverse perspectives. So, if you have at least an interest in any of these issues (or others) and want to be a part of something big, please consider running.
THERE'S A PLACE FOR YOU ON THE MHNA BOARD

The MHNA board needs your voice. The greater diversity of people involved in the MHNA board, the more our neighborhood thrives and remains a wonderful place to live, work, learn, play and grow—for everyone: renters, business and property owners, homeowners, students, elders and anyone in between.

Any Resident Member or Non-resident Member who has been a member for at least twenty (20) days can run for an open Director's seat. If you have recently attended any MHNA meeting (and have signed-in), you are a Member of the organization.

To become a member (or even if you just want to affirm your existing membership), please visit this link:

We especially want more candidates from the East Side of the neighborhood, specifically in the Greater Dinkytown neighborhood (see map below)
