Call for Nominations
2024 Poncey-Highland Neighborhood Association Board
Election time is near! At the December General Membership Meeting, the Membership will vote on the 2024 PHNA Board candidates. Our current directors have carried the torch, ensuring Poncey-Highland continues to be a great place to live. They managed to provide a much-needed and very successful experience through Camp Poncey-Hi events where we had a chance to enjoy ourselves in the company of neighbors of all ages.
If you have been waiting to be asked to join the Board, we are asking! If you haven’t considered it before, now is the time! It is a labor of love, fellowship and good will to take on a board position and so we, as former PHNA Presidents and current Nominating Committee members, ask you, a Poncey-Highland resident, to step up and serve in one of the open board positions. Another option is to nominate a PH resident you know and who you have confidence will accept such a nomination. The newly elected members of the 2024 PHNA Board of Directors begin service on January 1, 2024.
Send your nominations to: ponceyhighlandna@gmail.com by Monday, November 6.
