Property Owners-to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must provide your articles of incorporation* at the Whittier Alliance office (10 E 25th St) prior to the meeting. Once you have done this, you vote similarly to a resident.
Business Owners-business owners do not vote for at-large board members at the Annual Meeting; instead, they vote for Business Association representatives on the board at the April Business Association Meeting (Wednesday, April 11, 3-4:30 @ Minneapolis Institute of Art). Like property owners, business owners must also provide articles of incorporation* at the WA office (10 E 25th St) before voting at meetings.
