It’s Board Election Time
Your neighborhood needs you!
Make a difference in YOUR neighborhood
This is an exciting time for Southern Crossing, with lots of change in the near and far future. You can learn what is happening in YOUR neighborhood by being on the Board of the Southern Crossing Neighborhood Association. You can also help influence growth and development by being involved, instead of just watching the changes happening in Bend. This is an opportunity to make a difference.
Board meetings are held monthly on Zoom. New board members will begin their two-year terms January 1, 2025. General board member positions are open, and officer positions of Vice-Chair and Secretary are up for election.
Board members will be elected at our General Membership Meeting (see below). You can indicate your interest in being on the Board with this button. Candidates may also be nominated at the meeting. (You are allowed to nominate yourself.) Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
