The Whittier neighborhood is on a steady path toward realizing its goal of fostering a welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and sustainable community. To achieve this important vision, we need the help of residents who are committed to the neighborhood, invested in seeing progress and improvements and are willing to share their talent and perspectives as Whittier Alliance board members.
Each year at the Annual Meeting the Whittier Alliance membership elects 5 at-large, volunteer board members to serve a 3 year term. The 5 board members join 10 other board members elected from the neighborhood by fellow residents and property owners, up to 5 business and nonprofit community representatives, and additional elected standing committee chairpersons (all elected by peers, as well).
Serving on a neighborhood board is civic involvement at its most grassroots and most impactful level. The annual Eat Street Festival, the youth-led mural down the street, and even the Whittier International Elementary School itself are examples of Whittier Alliance Board involvement, organizing, and decision-making.
Are you interested in sharing your time and talents with our organization and with your neighbors? Are you looking for a way to meet new people in Whittier and learn something new? This opportunity could be for you!
