The Voice of Del Cerro is a new community council conceived by neighborhood residents after the dissolution of the Del Cerro Action Committee. The interim founding board now seeks people who have an interest in the Del Cerro community to serve as members of the governing board.

“We set out to launch a council that would better serve all the voices of Del Cerro,” said Ellis Clay, interim board president. “We started with a focus on transparency, inclusiveness and accountability. Now we’re ready to hold elections for the people who will become the governing board.”

Si bien la misión precisa de la junta será determinada por sus miembros electos, el objetivo desde el principio fue crear un consejo que se esfuerce por representar a la comunidad de Del Cerro para ayudar a crear una comunidad más fuerte y unida, así como ayudar a mejorar la zona y la calidad de vida de quienes viven y trabajan en Del Cerro. Esto incluiría interactuar con representantes electos, servicios comunitarios, residentes, dueños y gerentes de negocios, organizaciones sin fines de lucro y religiosas.

Anyone who has an interest in the community of Del Cerro is invited to join. Residents, owners or representatives of local businesses and non-profits, and religious organizations are all invited. The deadline for those interested in running for a board position to declare their candidacy is October 15, 2021.

“The work now,” Clay said, “is to elect a governing board, to provide that board the by-laws and process for choosing its officers, and an agenda to begin work in 2022.”
