President's Message - April 7, 2025

From the President:

Resident Awards

Just a reminder that we are soliciting your nominations to recognize residents who make outstanding contributions in three categories: public service to the community, volunteerism at its highest level, and beautification of our neighborhood.

Nominations are made by the membership for these awards, and the DNA Board of Directors is looking for your suggestions for this year’s recognition.

For examples of what the nominations should include, see the descriptions from last year’s recipients here under Resident Awards. Please submit your nominations to info@savannahdna.org by April 15.

Later this week we will be sending out an email soliciting nominations for the DNA Board.  Please look for this email and consider running for the Board.

These are the positions up for election this year:

Treasurer

Secretary

Events Chair

Holiday Tour of Homes Chair

Ward Captains Chair

Public Safety Chair

You can find descriptions of responsibilities for each of these positions here.  

Ranking Priorities Survey

Each of you should have received an email soliciting your input in ranking various issues affecting our community.  The Board wants to ensure that its priorities align with members.  We encourage each of you to rank the 10 items listed as you believe their importance is to our quality of life.  This ranking exercise is only open to members.  Please do not forward to non-members.

Monthly Meeting

Reminder that our next monthly meeting is scheduled for next week, April 15, with the social period beginning at 5:30.  The presenters for this meeting will be Vice President John Buckovich and Da’Von McClure, Director of Operations for Savannah College of Art and Design beginning at 6 pm.  We will be meeting at the Coastal Georgia Center, 305 Fahm St.  Please RSVP below.
