If you or someone you knows that lives in the neighborhood has skills or interest in serving your neighborhood please let me know in the next two weeks about your/their interest.
Board service requires attendance of a meeting once per month and leadership with a project or task and possible participation on a committee or task force. Board members must be paid members of the WEA. Bylaws are available on our website. You are welcome to contact me or other Board members about additional information. The West End Association is one of the oldest non profit neighborhood associations in NC originally founded to protect the neighborhood’s future and Hanes Park when a planned freeway was proposed to bisect the Park in the ’60s. The Association has successfully brought the neighborhood back to beauty, safety, care and prominence over the years.
Thanks,
George Bryan
