Registration Instructions
Whether you plan to attend in-person or virtually, please register for the meeting below. You may register at the door if attending in person, but we would ask that you pre-register online for planning purposes.
Registration is required in order to vote. Voting eligibility is limited to those who are at least 16 years of age and one of the following:
A resident in the neighborhood; or,
An owner or business lessee of real property in the neighborhood; or,
The designated representative of a nonprofit, educational organization, or governmental organization in the neighborhood.
The boundaries of the East Isles neighborhood are 22nd Street, Hennepin Ave, Lake Street, and Knox Ave/E Lake of the Isles Pkwy. Voting will take place via an online ballot that will become available after the meeting has ended and will remain available for 24 hours. Each attendee who is eligible to vote will receive an email with instructions on how to access the ballot once the ballot becomes available.
Run for the Board
Nominations are now open for the Board of Directors (11 seats total). Last Fall, EIRA adopted new bylaws which changed its Board terms from 1-year terms to 2-year, staggered terms. As this is the first Board election since those bylaws were adopted, 6 seats will be for a full two-year term, and the other 5 seats will only be for a 1-year term. This is necessary to establish the staggered pattern for the terms. For the 11 candidates who are elected to the Board this year, those receiving 2-year vs. 1-year terms will be determined randomly.
You must be at least 18 years of age to run for the Board.
Only one member per household or family member may serve on the Board at any given time.
The maximum number of Board seats that may be filled by business owners/lessees or designated representatives of a nonprofit, educational organization, or governmental organization in the neighborhood is 3.
If you are interested in running for the Board, please complete the nomination form below.
