2021 WHNA election postponed

Covid 19 has required our neighborhood association to make many changes. We are no longer able to meet face-to-face, so plans for our general meetings were put on hold and our board meetings are now virtual. In September we plan to start a series of zoom meetings each month with speakers we planned to have at this year’s meetings . Unfortunately, our planned January election of association officers has been postponed. Recruiting members for board officers at this time is almost impossible and we currently do not have a way to vote online. So…the current board officers and members at large have agreed to serve an additional year and have their terms end in 2022 for officers and 2023 for members at large. We believe this will provide stability for the association and we look forward to being able to meet in person in 2021 to recruit new folks to run for the board.
