Change is coming to Bayside — Let’s make it good!
Our neighborhood is going through some major changes, and so too is our neighborhood association. Two of our longest-serving board members—Alex Landry and Deborah Van Hoewyk—are stepping down for separate personal reasons, both leaving very big shoes to fill. The board is seeking to appoint immediate replacements for these seats. At least one of the seats must be held by a Bayside resident, and the board is encouraging renters and BIPOC members of the community to inquire. Please contact board@baysideportland.org for information.
