Lyndale is looking for a new Volunteer and Fundraising CoordinatorThe Lyndale Neighborhood Association (LNA) is an award-winning, nationally recognized community-based organization in South Minneapolis on the cutting edge of community development. LNA is currently seeking an energetic person who is well organized and an excellent communicator to be LNA’s Volunteer and Fundraising Coordinator. This is a new position for the organization. The Volunteer and Fundraising Coordinator will play an important role in supporting LNA’s work to create a safe, vibrant, sustainable community. The primary responsibilities for this position are to manage LNA’s volunteer program and to work with the Executive Director on implementing all aspects of a comprehensive fundraising program including grant writing, individual giving, business sponsorships, and fundraising events.
This is a full-time, exempt position with benefits that requires some evening and weekend work. LNA has two board openingsThe Lyndale Neighborhood Association is currently looking for a couple of good people to serve on the LNA Board. In December, Randy Ferguson and Courtney Lerdon left the board. Courtney who had been a long-time manager and part owner of Champion’s Sports Bar left to pursue other career opportunities outside of the neighborhood and Randy left the board to focus his time on other endeavors, but is planning on staying involved as a block club leader and as a regular contributor to the Lyndale Neighborhood News. The two resignations have created two vacancies on the LNA board. Both seats were elected in June of this past year and would run from the time of appointment through June 2011. The process for being appointed to one of these seats is simple; you just have to express your interest; the board will then make an appointment at its regular meeting, which must be confirmed at the next General Membership meeting. Information about the LNA Board The LNA Board is legally responsible for the overall governance of the organization, which includes setting the direction of the organization, financial oversight, and priorities. The Board –as a whole- is ultimately responsible for determining where and how decisions are made. As an LNA Board Member you get to be at the center of helping to shape policy in the neighborhood and get to work on the key issues facing the neighborhood. You also have the opportunity to contribute directly to the well being of the neighborhood. You also get the rewards of knowing that your time and energy are being well spent as part of one of the most vibrant and active neighborhood organizations in Minneapolis. LNA Board Member Details
