2022 NLNA Board Nominations Remain Open Until May 26
Unfortunately, we had to cancel the NLNA General Meeting on April 28, and push the NLNA board elections back about a month.
Board nominations will remain open until May 26.
Please email Paula at voteNLNABoardelections@gmail.com to nominate yourself or someone else. We're looking for board members who are self-starters, can invest their time, and/or have experience in fundraising, non-profit management, communications, or budgeting, and care about their neighborhood!
This year we are electing President, Treasurer, and 6 Board seats. Those seats are currently being held by Claire Adler –President, Jacek Ghosh, and six at-large members; Alex Boland, Shakirra Clarke, Chastity Houston, Joe Mikuliak, Matt Ochs, Matt Ruben.
You may make nominations on-line starting today by emailing them to Paula at voteNLNABoardelections@gmail.com. Nominations will be closed at 9:00 PM on Thursday, April 28th. After checking eligibility, and receiving confirmation from nominees, we will post a list of candidates, along with information about the May General/Election Meeting.
