Upcoming Elections for the UNC Board

At the Park View UNC meeting on November 5th, we will elect officers and at-large board members to serve for 2015. These are important positions for shaping what we can accomplish in the next year and the direction that the UNC takes as we move forward!

We are currently accepting nominations for all positions. If you would like to run, please contact the current secretary at parkviewuncdc@gmail.com. We will publish your name in the November Park View UNC newsletter to alert the neighborhood of your interest. You must be a UNC Member when your term starts on the board. If you aren’t a member yet, you can join here.

Nominations must be made by October 28th in order to make it into the November newsletter.

Below are descriptions of the duties for each office paraphrased from the bylaws. The board typically meets once per month for about an hour, so the time commitment isn’t huge. If you have questions about the duties of each position, you can also contact the board at parkviewuncdc@gmail.com and we’ll be sure to get back to you right away.

UNC Board Elections

October marks the start of election season for the United Neighborhood Coalition. The UNC is managed by an eight-person Board of Directors, who are elected by the membership every November. Nominations for the 2015 Board will be taken at the October UNC meeting (Wednesday, October 1st, Park View Rec Center, 693 Otis Pl NW, 7-8pm).

Board members must be current UNC members in good standing. If you would like to vote or run in the upcoming election, please make sure your membership is up-to-date by emailing parkviewuncdc@gmail.com with your name and address. You can join or renew your memberships online here, or in person at our monthly meetings. New members must wait 20 days before they can vote, so sign up early to guarantee your voice in the election!

All but one of the current Board of Directors have now completed two one-year terms, and several Board members are planning to step down this year to make way for new neighbors. The Board President will be stepping down and we are looking for volunteers to fill the vacancy. Several at-large positions will also be opening this year.

Here is a list of your current Board:

President
Marcus Hedrick

Vice President
Chris Waldmann

Treasurer
Janisha Richardson

Secretary
Sarah Sorscher

At-Large
Cecile Blot
Moese Montgomery
Maria Peace
Roger Peace

Please feel free to contact any existing Board member if you have questions about serving on the Board.

Looking forward to taking nominations in October!
