The memberships of the Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood Association (NIEBNA) and the Southeast Como Improvement Association (SECIA) have been concluded.  Both memberships voted Yes to a merger with the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association.

BACKGROUND

The merger of the MHNA, SECIA, and NIEBNA into a single non-profit organization presents a unique opportunity to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of neighborhood advocacy in Minneapolis. By pooling resources, strengthening advocacy efforts, streamlining operations, and fostering a stronger sense of community, the merged entity would be better positioned to address the challenges and opportunities facing these neighborhoods in the years to come. As Minneapolis continues to grow and evolve, a unified neighborhood association would serve as a powerful force for positive change, ensuring that the voices of East Bank Neighborhoods are heard, and their needs are met.
