AMPBID Board Member Vacancy

Immediately after the Tuesday May 8th Board of Director's meeting, a commercial property owner submitted their resignation to the board.

The process for replacing a board member who has resigned according to our bylaws says: "shall be filled by a vote of the majority of the remaining Directors at a special meeting of the Board of Directors held for such purpose promptly after the occurrence of any such vacancy....The person so elected shall be a member until a successor is elected at the next annual meeting of the Members for the remainder of the term created by such vacancy."

At the June 12th board meeting at 5 pm at 1640 Columbia Road, NW, the board will vote on a new Adams Morgan commercial property owner to fill out the remainder of the term. Interested commercial property owners should submit their resume to Kristen Barden, Executive Director, by email to kbarden@adamsmorganonline.org not later than Monday June 11th.


Kristen is happy to answer questions about the amount of time required for Board of Directors membership and other obligations. Please call her if you are interested at 202-997-0783.
