EHNA
The East Harriet Neighborhood Association (EHNA) serves as a voice of our community when connecting with the city. We foster relationships with our neighbors, partners and the natural environment. It is our vision to foster a just, engaged and livable community, to amplify the voices of all.
East Harriet's volunteer board of directors consists of neighborhood residents and business owners who serve two-year terms. Board members have a broad variety of occupational backgrounds and interests. They focus their energies on the overall direction of the neighborhood as well as on committee work.

Neighborhood Engagement
When: 7pm, the 3rd Tuesday of each month
This committee focuses on events and outreach. The events can include Fall Fest, the Kite Festival, Happy Hours and a tent at Lyndale Open Streets. This committee recently spearheaded a neighborhood rebranding effort. A crucial goal for this committee is to make sure all residents and business owners are informed about what's happening in the neighborhood.

Community Partnerships
When: 7pm, the 3rd Wednesday of each month
This committee plans to engage with the neighborhood by forming and maintaining important partnerships. One of these partnerships will be created through a new and exciting block captain program.
