Board and Staff
Our Board
Board members are volunteers who give their time to ensure that Whittier remains a thriving neighborhood. They work together to set the direction of the organization, ensure sound fiscal procedures, and develop projects, events, and programming alongside members of staff and other community volunteers.
How are Board Members elected?
Every year at the Whittier Alliance Annual Meeting taking place in March or April, the community elects five at-large board members to a three-year term. Whittier residents and property owners are eligible to run for at-large seats. At the Business Association (BA) meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting, the BA elects four board members for a one-year term from the non-profit and for-profit Whittier business community. The Chairperson of the Business Association, the Community Issues Committee, and the Housing Issues Committee are each elected by their respective committee's membership and also have a one-year seat on the Whittier Alliance Board of Directors.
Reach out to current board members or WA staff anytime for information on the next election and how you can serve your community in this way!
