The Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association annual meeting also includes election of seven posts to the LGNA board of directors.
Gay Hopkins has been nominated for reelection to the board. She has served as LGNA’s president and vice president, and she has been active in zoning matters to protect our residential quality of life. Standing for election to their first terms are Ken Lampton, David Jones, Corby Hankins, Stacey Davis, Debbie Daniel, and John Dailey. The six new nominees were featured in the March newsletter’s Know Your Neighbors. All share a concern and passion for our Lower Greenville neighborhood area. Ballots have been mailed to LGNA members. At least one-third of the membership must vote, so each ballot is important. Promptly marking and returning your ballot will be appreciated.
