Nominations are now open for all DTNA members who are interested in running for a 2026 DTNA board position.  Nominations will be open until November 30, 2025.  Elections will take place beginning December 2 at midnight and run until December 9 at 7:30pm, at which time, votes will be tallied for all 11 board positions.  Board members serve one-year terms.

Our remit is to support the entirety of the neighborhood, so if you are interested beyond one topic, one issue, or one street, we urge you to consider nominating yourself, whether you are a resident, a worker, or a business owner in good membership standing.  And if you think of someone in the hood who would be great for the board, please reach out to them and encourage them to run.
