Board of Directors
Neighbors elected to represent St. Anthony Park
Our elected Board represents North and South St. Anthony Park, and all Board meetings are open to everyone.
The SAPCC Board of Directors is elected by neighbors to represent St. Anthony Park (District 12). Board members are North St. Anthony Park and South St. Anthony Park delegates, Organization delegates from the commercial, industrial and nonprofit sectors, and Emerging Leader delegates. The Board meets every month, and all Board and Committee meetings are open to everyone.
The District Council seeks to represent the demographics of the community it serves, working to ensure that major ethnic, geographic, business, and residential groups have a voice in the normal decision-making process.
