LNA Board

LNA Board of Directors Applications are Now Open!

Want to make a difference in the Lyndale Neighborhood? Want to connect more with your community? Apply to be on the Lyndale Neighborhood Association Board of Directors! Your involvement can have a big impact, but don’t take our word for it, here’s what one of our current board members has to say:

“I think one of the most rewarding aspects of being a board member is knowing I’m making a difference in this small piece of the world, and working together with neighbors that share the same values of connecting people to build a safer, more livable space in this city.” – Holly Reckel, LNA Board Member since 2022

All residents (renters or homeowners), property owners, and business owners of the Lyndale Neighborhood are welcome to apply! Please submit your application by June 30, 2025.

The election and voting will begin on July 7, 2025 at the Annual Community Gathering and Board Elections (held at Painter Park – 620 W 34th St) and continue online through July 16. If you have any questions, please reach out to: info@lyndale.org.
