WHCA Board: Help Wanted / by Michael Graves

Spring is here. Though it’s already April, I’m reminded of the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland. Yes, it’s definitely rabbit season. Time is short! There’s much to be done. To be honest, we need some help!

More specifically, we’re still seeking a few neighbors to fill positions on the WHCA board of directors. The board is comprised of nine neighbors, all members of the WHCA, who guide the activities of the civic association.

Each position has a specific role, and a two-year term. Only around half of the board is elected each year, ensuring a rolling continuity of management. This year we have five positions to be filled;

  • Treasurer*

  • Secretary

  • Director of Infrastructure*

  • Director of Membership

  • Director of Deed Restrictions

Happily, two of the existing board members* are intending to return, leaving us three positions that must be filled. The election will be held at our next Member’s Meeting, Tuesday, May 13th at Zion Lutheran Church.

 Most people are blissfully unaware of what the WHCA does. A lot of it is behind-the-scenes. I could go on a length about how we spend our time, and why it’s important. I’m sure that would be as dull for me to write as it would be for you to read.

I’ll keep it simple. If you love this neighborhood…would like to see it protected, thrive and prosper…we need your help to see it done.

All it takes is a willingness to engage. No experience necessary. On-the-job training is available. In fact, there’s a very impressive group of neighbors who have previously served. They continue to believe in the organization, providing help and advice when called upon. We have a depth of history, what we’re trying to address is the bench.

Interested? A nomination form is available on our web site. If you have questions, please get in touch. I’d be more than happy to talk with anyone who genuinely wants to help. I’m available at president@woodland-heights.org.
