Area Representatives

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.
