[Neighbors] NHNA Appeal for Participation

[Greg Weirs]

Neighbors,


These are challenging times for your neighborhood association. At the
Annual Meeting in September, no new Directors were elected (or nominated)
and three Directors completed their terms. This leaves your Board with four
Directors, the lowest number in at least two decades.


The work your neighborhood association can accomplish is directly related
to the number of people that participate. Please consider the following
ways you might contribute.


The efforts of the NHNA are led by the board of Directors. As delineated in
the NHNA Bylaws, the Board can appoint Directors to fill vacancies. When
the Board has fewer than six Directors the unfilled seats are vacancies,
the Board can appoint two Directors. Appointed Directors would serve until
the next Annual Meeting (September 2025) rather than a two-year term. If
you would like to be considered for the Board, please send a statement to
theboard at nobhill-nm.com.


Over the past five years the Board has organized NHNA efforts through
committees, with the intent of having Members (as opposed to Directors)
make up the majority of each committee. We have had some success with this
approach, as volunteers can focus on topics of interest to them. Our
Committees are:

   - Public Safety
   - Tree Canopy Restoration
   - Historic Preservation
   - Community Engagement
   - Newsletter
   - Hilleños Helping the Unhoused
   - Urban Planning


Please consider joining a committee. Or, if you have another topic you are
passionate about, propose a committee you would like to lead! One potential
topic is obtaining funding through grants or Councilor Rogers’s
Participatory Budgeting process.


Finally, there are several areas where the Board could use specific
assistance:

   - Social Media presence
   - Website (Wordpress) upkeep and enhancement


Our Nob Hill is a wonderful neighborhood because of its people. You
contribute to the sense of place and the depth of the community when you
attend association events, engage through the email list, deliver
newsletters, or just chat with your neighbors. We appreciate you and thank
you for all you do!
