LHiNC Committees

How do I join a committee?

LHiNC has several standing committees and ad hoc committees as needed. Each is comprised of LHiNC board members and neighborhood residents like you. These committees do a great deal of the implementation of LHiNC and NRP projects. These committees have significant input and primary responsibility for implementing board approved projects. Most meet once a month or less.

All it takes to become a member is attendance at two consecutive meetings. At the third meeting you are a voting member! Any Linden Hills resident, 18 or over, may join a committee by requesting appointment or by attending 3 consecutive meetings. Often residents bring good ideas to these committees that become reality.

You can also free free to attend any Committee meetings without an obligation of becoming a member.
