It’s time to prepare for a new year in the life of our New Town Residential Association (NTRA) Board of Directors. Four of the five positions on the NTRA Board will be up for election in November-December. The residents that we elect will guide our Association into the future. 

 

Three of our present Board members are completing their 2-year terms of service and the term of one Board-elected member will end in December. (We are seeking three volunteers to serve for 2 years and one volunteer for a 1 year term in order to balance out/stagger future terms of office.) WE NEED YOU! Fresh ideas of new Board members can help improve our community.  

 

 

Candidates may come from any neighborhood, but per our by-laws we cannot have more than two Board members from any single NTRA neighborhood. Our returning Board member, Sommer Wrona, lives in Charlotte Park. Therefore, one candidate from Charlotte Park and two candidates from each of our other neighborhoods could be elected to the 2026-2027 Board.  

 

 

 - Time: A willingness to serve, and a schedule sufficiently flexible, to allow for 

- Commitment to taking seriously the legal and fiduciary responsibilities of the position. Do you have sufficient commitment and ability to function as part of a team where members must value, respect, support, and collaborate with one another so that the essential community business gets done? How about the self-management needed to keep confidential information confidential? Will you prioritize the Board’s legal responsibilities, and the best interests and welfare of the whole NTRA community over personal agendas or loyalties? 

 

- No Outstanding Violations: Candidates for the Board of Directors or any of our official committees cannot have uncleared or unaddressed violations. If you think you would be willing to serve NTRA as a Board member — please, please, please! - clear your violations before you put your name forward. 

 

 

If you believe you can handle the time commitments, the investments of self, and the responsibilities of an NTRA Board member, and are not in a violation status, you will be doing your neighbors a huge favor by becoming a candidate for our Board!
