The Trinidad Neighborhood Association ("TNA") is recruiting members, & applicants for the Board of Directors. Here's a note from TNA explaining why you should join:
That's right—we can't do this without you and the support of the community! At our January meeting, on Tuesday, January 28, 2014, TNA will hold an election for a new Board of Directors. To vote, and/or to be eligible for the Board, you simply need to be a current TNA member, and that's just $5 per year.
The Trinidad Neighborhood Association is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is elected among the membership. Any member in good standing may be nominated and, if elected, serve as a member of the Board of Directors for a term of one year. You can read a copy of our current bylaws, revised and adopted on February 20, 2013.
Members of the Board of Directors are responsible for the general governance of TNA. Additionally, Board members serve an advisory function toward the aim of developing a long-range strategic plan as well as annual goals and targets for TNA. Some board members may serve as Officers. Officers of TNA are elected among the members Board of Directors.
So be sure to become a member and attend our upcoming meeting—we've got some great ideas in store for 2014!

No, it's a way to address neighborhood issues, meet neighbors, & facilitate dialogue between neighbors & business people/developers.
