Board recruitment

Hamline Midway Coalition is governed by a volunteer board. Serving on the board is a way to serve your community and help make decisions about land use and development, transportation, sustainability, and community building. There are nine elected board members and four appointed seats. All board members are elected or appointed for three-year terms. Elected members are voted in by the community in an annual neighborhood-wide election. Terms are staggered such that every year three seats are up for election—one from each of the three sub-districts in the neighborhood. If you are interested in serving on the board, please contact Executive Director Kate Mudge at kate@hamlinemidway.org.

Interested in joining the Board of Directors? Anyone interested in running for an elected seat on the Board of Directors must return a completed application to the Executive Director no later than 5pm, Mon., Nov. 19.

Applicants must be 16 years of age or older and reside within, own property, or own a business in the Hamline Midway neighborhood. More information can be found at http://www.hamlinemidway.org/about/board.

Small Business Saturday in Hamline Midway is more than just the Holiday Pop Up Shop! Each year more than 30 local vendors come together in one spot for the Midway Holiday Pop Shop. However, this year, on Sat., Nov. 24 more local business will be opening their doors for all your holiday shopping and celebrating. This makes it easier than ever to shop and support locally for the Holidays! Holiday Pop Up shop will be open from 10am-4pm at the Celtic Junction, 836 Prior Ave.
