Here is the description of the Area Representative role:
Area representatives work for the  betterment and general improvement of their community. It is a chance to have a voice and impact on both neighborhood and City business. It is also a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors and your community. The Palisades Neighborhood Association (PNA)  has 13 separate areas, each with their own area rep. The area rep term is for one year but reps can run as often as they wish.

What does an Area Rep do?

  • Attend at least 6 PNA Board meetings via Zoom and 1 PNA General Meetings per year to stay up-to-date on what’s happening in our neighborhood;
  • Give input on neighborhood related topics;
  • Communicate neighborhood concerns to the PNA if they are brought to you;
  • Opportunity to get involved in some capacity in special projects – such as park improvements, emergency preparedness, events, traffic-pathway-safety, or other areas of interest in the Palisades area.

Expected Time Investment: About 2-3 hrs. per month
