The entire Board of Officers of LPNA comes up for election for the calendar year 2020 at LPNA’s next general meeting on Thursday, November 14, 2019, at 7 pm at the Community Room within the gym behind Los Paseos Elementary School.
Nominations of candidates for elected positions can be submitted through the LPNA web site, (About / Contact Us) or in writing (including by email) to any Officer, for 30 days, through November 12, 2019.
All members who attend the meeting in November may vote. All residents of the neighborhood over the age of 18 are considered to be members.
The current Officers of LPNA have expressed the intent to nominate themselves for the same positions in the election for 2019, with one exception. Amy Georgiades, Secretary, will not be nominated as she has other commitments that conflict in 2020. We are seeking nominations for the office of Secretary. Anyone interested should contact Greg Peck (president@lospaseosneighbors.org) to discuss the responsibilities of that position.

of the Board and the membership, and shall facilitate activities of LPNA and exercise general powers of administration and management consistent with the office.
