Our Board | Shingle Creek Victory Council

Led by neighbors, for neighbors.

Our board is made up of volunteer stakeholders from both Shingle Creek and Victory Neighborhoods — residents and business owners who show up to steer this organization toward what the neighborhood actually needs.

WHY JOIN

Your voice, at the table

Serving on the board means real input on how this neighborhood grows — from which events happen to how funds get spent. No prior nonprofit experience required, just a willingness to show up.

Shape real decisions
Vote on budgets, priorities, and which initiatives get the organization's support.
Just 12 meetings a year
One evening a month, 4th Wednesday, 6:30–8:30pm. That's the core commitment.
Build something lasting
Two neighborhoods just became one council — help shape what it becomes next.

We are a "working board" and what that actually means

ViNA runs as a working board, not a rubber-stamp one. Directors don't just vote on what staff or committees bring them — they personally lead or support initiatives themselves, from planning an event to walking the neighborhood on a livability project. Expect real hands-on work between meetings, not just two hours a month.

Governance

How the Board Works

The essentials, straight from our bylaws and our regular practice:

Board meetings 4th Wednesday monthly, 6:30–8:30pm.
Annual meeting & elections Held the 4th Wednesday in October, when directors are elected to two-year terms.
Board retreat A Saturday every January.
Board size Bylaws call for at least seven (7) directors. We're at six right now — these open seats help us get there.
Staggered terms Two-year terms are staggered so the whole board never turns over in the same election.
Open meetings Every board meeting is open to the public. Come sit in anytime — no commitment required.
Mid-term vacancies Seats that open up between elections can be filled by board appointment — exactly how today's open seats work.
