Board Time Commitment and Duties

The estimated time commitment is 5-6 hours per month. ANA Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30-8:30pm. Board members are expected to participate in these monthly meetings as well as serve on a committee, volunteer for events (the ANA holds a few outdoor and distanced events each year) and help with organizational planning.

If elected, your seat will have a shortened term from January 2022 – May 2023, after which point you can choose to step off the board or run again for a full two-year term. Bylaws that govern our non-profit organization are posted at https://armatage.org/ana-bylaws/

Vote in the Special Election

All residents (aged 18 and over) and designated neighborhood business or institution representatives are eligible to vote. We’ll post a candidate guide and voting form here on January 18.
