Community

Share your point of view and help shape our neighborhood

Join the Board
Being a Member-at-Large is a great opportunity and experience for any neighbor, whether you’ve been on a board before or you're considering the idea for the first time. No experience required.

New member will serve with a dynamic, enthusiastic, committed group of other volunteers who work hard on behalf of this neighborhood.

We ask Board members to commit to about 5 hours a month of volunteer time, which includes attending a monthly Board meeting (2nd Monday of every month at 6:30-8pm) and at least one committee meeting per month (about 1.5 hour per month). Joining the board is a one year commitment where you'll gain knowledge that will be relevant even after your time on the Board.
