ABOUT BOARD NOMINATIONS

Criteria:

To serve on the board of the Cherokee Street CID, you must be a resident, property owner, business owner or commercial tenant within the Cherokee CID boundaries. (See map)

Board members are nominated to a four-year term. The board is comprised of 13 members. Out of those 13 members, at least 2 must be property owners; at least 2 must be residents; at least 2 must be business owners; and at least 2 must be residents or business owners that do not own their property.

Expectations:

All board members are expected to attend the Cherokee CID Board Meeting (2nd Tuesday of the month at 9 AM) and the quarterly CID Public Meeting with our community members (4th Thursday of January, April, July & October at 5 PM). Beyond these meetings, board members are encouraged to join and contribute to CID committees.

Process & Timeline:

Individuals will be asked to complete a nomination form, as well as gather signatures from the public. After the nomination window closes, a list of all eligible nominees will be published on the CID website. At the subsequent CID Public Meeting, community members will vote on the nominees they most want to represent the district on the Board of Directors. The current CID Board will then submit the final nominations to the Mayor for approval.

BROGAN DRISSEL

Resident, Property Owner, Business Owner ('ssippi & Tschuss)

I'm interested because...
Increase my involvement in maintaining Cherokee St. as the best street in St. Louis

I'd like to improve...
Pedestrian safety & traffic calming, business & community building

What I'd bring to the table...
Originally from St. Louis, I spent a decade living in Chicago and Los Angeles. St. Louis excels in focusing on the local but could stand to gain from drawing inspiration from other cities' successful ideas. With my dedication to St Louis & my outside experience, I would seek to foster creative solutions for people-centric policy on Cherokee St.
