SOSNA BOARD ELECTIONS
The
SOSNA Board of Directors is a working volunteer Board that establishes
the policies and helps implement the programs and activities of the
organization. The SOSNA board is an elected volunteer body, made up of
15 people from the neighborhood. Each board member serves a 3-year term
and can only serve 2 consecutive terms, for a total of 6 years.
SOSNA’s Board of Directors strives to be representative of our
population of neighbors. Our Board of Directors and volunteers shape our
programs and initiatives as we work towards community safety that
supports and heals, not disenfranchises and displaces. We continue to be
committed to creating a diverse board that represents our neighborhood
in terms of race/ethnic groups, professions, education levels, ages,
abilities and genders. All nomination applications are very welcome.
SOSNA will accept board nominations ONLINE and by DROP-OFF/MAIL (PDF) until September 30, 2020. Please email nicoleatsosna@gmail.com if you need access to a printer for a paper version of the form.
According to SOSNA bylaws, nominees must meet the following criteria:
Must be a full SOSNA Member (register here, it’s FREE)
To be a member, you must
have your primary residence or who own real estate within SOSNA’s
boundaries, have a business owned and/or headquartered within SOSNA’s
boundaries, or direct a nonprofit organization headquartered within
SOSNA’s boundaries
Be willing to serve at least one (1) three (3) year term on the Board of Directors
Meet monthly on the last Wednesday of the month at 7:00p for our Board Meetings (virtually during COVID-19)
SOSNA COMMUNITY SPACE - SURVEY
We're
exploring turning our new SOSNA space into a cooperative workspace
containing technology and resources to develop creative digital content.
In doing so we hope to create a community hub for individuals to work
remotely, facilitate learning pods, and share skills or solutions
through developing creative digital content in order to develop rapport
in person or virtually, share solutions through digital content, and
ultimately establish a more cohesive community. Learn more about the
idea created by our Board Member, Brandon Washington here.
All counties need poll workers—it’s a great way to support and help your community.
Poll
workers do the key work of ensuring people exercise their right to
vote. They also help ensure the safety and security of our election
process—something that is critical to our nation’s democracy. Poll
workers check in voters at polling places and set them up at the voting
machines.
This
year is a presidential election and voter turnout is expected to be
high, so consider becoming a poll worker and spread the word to your
friends and family who may be interested as well.
Help champion democracy—become a poll worker today.
Applications can be done via online, mail, or phone (phone hours are still limited due to the pandemic).
