Run for a Seat on NENA’s Board
You can run for a seat on the NENA Board. Serving on the board is a great volunteering opportunity to connect to your community and build leadership skills. Board candidate information and the online application are now available at nokomiseast.org/run-for-a-board-seat/. Online, telephone, and in-person voting at the Annual meeting will be offered for Nokomis East to elect its NENA leaders.

Strategic plan and NRP Plan Modification
The NENA Board will present our 2022-2024 Strategic Plan, including a multi-year strategy for funding housing, commercial, streetscape, environmental, diversity, safety and livability, and community engagement projects initiated by the neighborhood.
To implement the next strategy plan, NENA's board also recommends a NRP Plan Modification to reposition city funding allocated to Nokomis East. The board will share details with our community about the updated community priorities and funding strategies and ask for a vote of approval from the community at the annual meeting.
