Annual Meeting and Board Elections – May 13th @ 7 PM

Our Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 13th @ 7 PM at SE Uplift and on Zoom.

We will be electing 5 members of the board of directors to serve 2 year terms. Nominations will be taken at the meeting. If you are interested in working with a great group of neighbors to help shape the future of Sunnyside, plan and host great events, and really get to understand how your city works, this is the opportunity for you! If you would like to learn more about serving your community on the SNA Board, please reach out to me at [email protected]. I’d love to tell you how being a board member has enriched my life with new friends, a sense of accomplishment and the knowledge that I am doing what I can to help this place I love.

We will also be voting on some bylaw updates. These are mostly technical updates to our governing charter. Most importantly is an update to our board elections process to allow those of you attending on Zoom to vote for your neighborhood association leadership.

This is always a fun meeting where we get to celebrate the SNA’s work over the last year and look forward to the next. Light refreshments will be provided.

See you there!

Board Election Results

Thank you to Christina Estimé for administering our election and SEUL for lending us their surprisingly cozy parking lot.  With four candidates running for five seats results were never really in doubt, but it was still very nice to see and speak to everyone in person.

It is very exciting to see two newcomers join the SNA Board in Ash Hester and Jessie Maran.  Incumbents Dave Boush and Russell Rinaldi were also elected to second two-year terms.  K.C. Hoffert, Lorraine Henriques, Colin Wonnacott and Sunia Gibbs, one year into their two year terms, round out the board to an even eight.  The remaining empty seat may be filled by appointment at any time during the next two years.

The next meeting of the SNA will be August 13th at 7pm via Zoom.
