SNA Annual Recruitment Drive!!!
Interested in running for the Board?A strong board of directors, firmly rooted in community is a major component of Spence Neighbourhood Association’s success since it was incorporated in 1997. Participation on the board is open to all residents, workers and volunteers over the age of 18 in Spence, and offers a chance to make your mark on this active organisation, a chance to learn about how a not for profit grassroots community organisation ticks, and an opportunity to contribute to people-driven change in inner city Winnipeg.
Information meeting: November 27 at 7pm, 615 Ellice Ave.
We will discuss what it means to serve on the SNA board of directors, how elections happen, and what support is provided to help directors and the board achieve their goals. The next election will happen at the January 2009 Annual General Meeting. You can also get information below, and at 615 Ellice, and 430 Langside weekdays between 9am and 5pm. In addition, you can contact Gerry Berard at ghokeep@hotmail.com, or call 783 8607.
There are two types of SNA board directors.

Area directors are nominated by members of their area. Please see the area map of Spence below to find out what area you are in. They can then seek endorsement by the nominating committee, or, if they are not endorsed, can still stand at the January Annual General Meeting for election.
