In late February, after January’s Annual Community Meeting, the Board of the Griffin Neighborhood Association met for their annual reorganization meeting. Among other items on the agenda, the reorganization meeting is when the Board elects its officers and plans its meeting schedule for the year.
This year, Rebecca Reavis returns as President. Dawn McCain will serve as Vice President. Biene Wood continues as Treasurer. Dee Tropp will continue to serve as Secretary.
At the end of January’s Annual Community Meeting, we were one member short of an entire 17-person Board. That seat was filled in February by Jenna Ritchie. Welcome, Jenna, and thank you for joining our Board of Directors!
The meeting schedule for 2024 will be as it was last year. The Board will meet on the 4th Wednesday of every month. We haven’t yet set up the location, but we’ll begin by seeing if the Griffin Fire Department Headquarters conference room is available for the meetings.
Look for a complete schedule of Board meetings to be posted here on our website’s community calendar and on Facebook. About two weeks before each meeting, we’ll post the event on Nextdoor, too.
Board meetings are always open to the public. Please attend one of our meetings to see what’s going on in the community and make your voice heard. Also, we cannot do all we do without your help. Working with our Board is a great way to give back and help make our community a wonderful place in which to live.
There’s another meeting just around the corner. Planning for this summer’s Annual Community Picnic will kick off on Thursday, March 14th. At 6 PM, we’ll meet at the Reavis’ home on 41st Ave. NW to start to plan. We would love your input and help.
