GBD Board Elections Coming Up

Each year, five of the GBD board’s fifteen directors' seats come up for election. Directors are chosen by the district’s property owners, whose assessments fund the GBD. This year, seats designated for Dogpatch and NW Potrero property owners and tenants are up for election. We have a wonderful and welcoming group of directors energized by their service to the community and eager to collaborate. If you are interested, would like to know more or are ready to register, please visit our 2024 elections page.

We will accept candidate registrations January 1 - 31.
