JOIN THE LHNA BOARD
LHNA has an active group of 15 board members from the Lowry Hill Neighborhood. Board members serve for a 2 year term and generally become involved in a project in the neighborhood. Current projects include beautification of Thomas Lowry Park, installation of a sidewalk in Kenwood Park, partnering with the Hennepin Avenue business district, writing content for the website and local newspaper, working with Minneapolis Park Board and City Councilors, advocating for tree plantings in the neighborhood, monitoring zoning and planning, and hosting neighborhood events.
"I've learned so much about the city and the neighborhood since I've joined the board," said Jolane Jones, a 3 year board member. Jones chairs the Crime & Safety Committee and maintains the organizations website. She participated in a Neighborhood Policing Planning meeting with police leaders from the 5th precinct and other neighborhood organizations.
David Weinstein, a new board member, has taken an active role on LHNA's Zoning and Planning Committee. He is researching changes to the city's zoning laws as a way to protect the character of our historic neighborhood.
"I' feel much more connected to people in the neighborhood since I've served on the board," said Janet Hallaway. "One of the most rewarding things has been getting to know a whole new group of people and now counting those people as good friends".
If you'd like to learn more about serving on a committee or the board, contact board member Brian Meeker at bbmeeker@msn.com.
