SAENA’s Leadership
Board of Directors
SAENA’s Board of Directors is governed by up to 9 elected board members who live, represent a business, or own property in the neighborhood. Board and community meetings are held monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7pm. We sometimes host community meetings in person, but most meetings are hosted on Zoom and are open to the public.
Board of Director members are energetic, strategically-minded leaders to help SAENA and our neighborhoods thrive.
