Leadership

Elected by neighbors, accountable to neighbors

Every seat on this board is held by somebody who lives in Northwest Landing. Meetings are open, books are open, and seats come up for election every two years.

Executive officers

Reach any officer directly — they answer their own mail.

Vice President

Coordinates programs, block captains and volunteer teams; chairs meetings when the president is away.

Teams doing the work

Block captains

Twenty-four neighbors watching, welcoming and connecting their own streets. Each captain keeps a contact list and runs the block's group text.

Bloom & environment committee

Leads gardens, tree plantings, lot clean-ups and the Neighborhood In Bloom entries every season.

Youth council

Teens leading garden crews, clean-ups, media and neighborhood storytelling — with two voting seats at the general meeting.

How to run for a seat

Leadership rotates on purpose. If you have been thinking about it, this is your sign.

  1. 1

    Be a member

    Membership is free. Anyone who lives, rents, owns property, worships or runs a business in the footprint qualifies.

  2. 2

    Attend three meetings

    Candidates attend at least three general meetings in the year before elections so neighbors know your face and your work.

  3. 3

    Get nominated

    Nominations open at the fall general meeting. Any member can nominate you, and you can nominate yourself.

  4. 4

    Elections

    Officers serve two-year terms elected by voice or paper ballot at the annual meeting. Committee chairs are appointed yearly.
