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.

To be added to the election ballot, nominees must collect five signatures of Cherokee Street stakeholders that support their nomination to serve on the board. 

Expectations:
All board members are expected to attend one monthly meetings - the Cherokee CID Board Meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 9 AM - 11 AM. They are also expected to attend the quarterly CID Public Meeting with our community members on the 3rd Thursday of January, April, July & October from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM. Beyond these meetings, board members are encouraged to join and contribute to CID committees they are interested in.

Process & Timeline: 

Individuals may submit their nomination before Wednesday, January 8th. The signature sheet must be turned in by Friday January 10th. The list of nominees will be published on the CID website in the beginning of January. At the January CID Public Meeting on January 16th, community members will vote on the nominees they most want to represent the district on the board of directors for the open seats. With that slate, the current board will ensure the requisite mix of property owners, business owners, residents & tenants and will submit final nominations to the Mayor for approval.
