The Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association is seeking applicants interested in joining its board of directors. A post on the group’s Twitter account said new members with experience in communications and website design and maintenance are needed. The 10-member board meets monthly, with members serving two-year terms. Membership to the group is open to anyone but hopeful board members must live in downtown Austin to be eligible. DANA’s stated goals include providing a range of downtown housing options, improving public spaces and historical assets, supporting pedestrian-oriented transit policies, and addressing safety and quality-of-life issues. Those interested in serving are asked to complete a short survey here.
