Hello,
KNA’s Board has gone through some changes and we’re meeting to informally discuss where we are headed and how best to get there.
This will be primarily for current board members, but please join us if you’ve got ideas. This is about how KNA can be a more efficient and responsive organization.
We’ll be discussing our goals as a neighborhood association, bylaws and getting to know each other. No changes or binding decisions will be made, just neighbors talking about the neighborhood.
