Neighborhood Clean-Up Coordinator Wanted!

Posted on by

If you’re ready to clean up your act and throw away all that garbage you can’t fit in your cans, then you’re in luck!  The Brentwood-Darlington Neighborhood Association would love to host the annual Neighborhood Clean-Up on May 5th, 2018.  There’s only one catch… We don’t have a coordinator!  If you have a few hours to spare and want to volunteer, then contact us today!

NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!  You’ll work under the guidance of BDNA Board Members, including a 15 year veteran clean-up coordinator. Help us throw this great event and be a neighborhood hero!

BDNA Elections Coming in May!

Posted on by

Board elections are happening May 3, 2018 at our regular monthly meeting, 7:00-9:00PM, at the Brentwood-Darlington Community Center.

Do you find it hard to watch the news, wishing there were something you could do to change the world? Are you tired of only knowing your neighbors from tiny profile pictures on a screen?  Want to make a difference with just a few hours a month?  Then join the Brentwood-Darlington Neighborhood Association (BDNA)!  

What does a board member do?

As a BDNA board member, you’re asked to attend at least 10 of our 12 monthly meetings, which happen the 1st Thursday of every month from 7:00-9:00PM.  At these meetings, board members discuss and vote on neighborhood issues, appoint committees (as needed), and work on projects pertaining to Brentwood-Darlington.  General members are asked (but not required) to occasionally volunteer at events like neighborhood clean-ups, Movies in the Park, and National Night Out.

What about the elected officers of the board?

The BDNA has four elected officers: Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.

  • The Chair is responsible for presiding over meetings, drawing up the agenda, and generally representing the board and neighborhood when necessary. (Average monthly time commitment ~20-30 hours)
  • The Vice Chair assists the Chair and steps in when the Chair is unable to perform their duties. (Average monthly time commitment ~10-15 hours)
  • The Secretary maintains non-financial records and a list of board members, takes minutes at meetings, and answers correspondence. (Average monthly time commitment ~10-15 hours)
  • The Treasurer is responsible for all funds belonging to the BDNA and must maintain records and report on those funds monthly. (Average monthly time commitment ~5-10 hours)

What if I’m unable to make it to meetings, but still want to volunteer?

You don’t have to be a board member to volunteer!  We know that life is busy and many community members are unable to attend monthly meetings.  Do you have a skill you’d like to put to use?  Maybe you’re amazing at social media, have contacts in the community, or speak another language.  Email us with your talent and we’ll put it to work!

Join us on May 3rd and help make YOUR neighborhood a great place to live!
