Do you love Overlook? Do you want to help keep it Portland’s best neighborhood? Do you live or own a business in the neighborhood? If so, then you should run for the Overlook Neighborhood Association board. When you serve on the board, you’ll be in the know about what’s happening around the neighborhood and help make important decisions. It’s rewarding and fun.

We’ll hold elections for 15 seats on the board at the annual meeting on Sept. 17 (location TBA). If there are more than 15 candidates, they will be invited to speak for two minutes prior to the election.

If you’d like to run for the board, send an email to chair@overlookneighborhood.org. Include your address, nearest cross street if you have no address, or the business/non-profit based in Overlook that you represent. Candidates who declare by Sept. 10 will appear on the printed ballots. Other candidates may ask to be added to the ballot up to the Sept. 17 meeting.
