Board of Directors & Committees

March 2022 COVID UPDATE: NENA is monitoring the latest COVID guidance for public meetings. When possible starting in March 2022, the Board will meet in person. Committee meetings will likely be via zoom. Visit NENA’s Community Calendar, for the location or Zoom login information.

NENA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, marking its beginnings in the mid-1980s and incorporated in 1997, by residents and businesses to strengthen our four southeast Minneapolis neighborhoods. NENA invests in neighborhood improvement, builds community connections, encourages citizen participation, and advocates for the interests of the Nokomis East neighborhood.

NENA is led by a 15 person Board of Directors comprised of neighborhood members elected by the community at our Annual Meeting. We are a volunteer-driven organization and thrive with a diverse group of active participants.

Meetings are open to the public unless otherwise noted. Each meeting starts with a 15 minute period for the public to address the Board with your ideas and questions.
