Our Board
NOTE: Our Board leadership is transitioning from an Interim Board of Directors to a permanent entity. Stay tuned for updates to our board’s membership.
The Board of Directors is composed mainly of property owners from along the York Corridor, with the BID bylaws dictating at least two members from each segment of the Corridor (northern, central, and southern). There is also representation from the York Road Partnership, nonprofit institutions along the Corridor, and the 4th District Council office.
The Board sets policy and priorities, including our annual budget for the BID. Their input and guidance, particularly around business needs and advocacy, is pivotal to the BID’s success.
Our Board is dedicated to the York Corridor community. If you see us on the street, say hello, or stop and chat! Or, reach us by email anytime. We are all striving to create and maintain a vibrant neighborhood, and we want to hear from you!
Support the BID, with us.
