Nominations for the HANC Board are open through the election at our November Meeting. All current HANC members are eligible to serve and to nominate other members. If you would like to serve, or would like to nominate someone, you can do so before the vote at the November meeting. The term is from December, 2022 through November, 2023.
Our Bylaws require that we solicit nominations from our membership in the September Voice and present a slate at our October and November meetings. The offices open for election are: President, Vice-President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, Nominating Chair, Membership Chair, Housing and Land Use Chair, Recycling Chair, and three Members at Large.
Current Board members as well as members who are not serving on our Board are eligible for these positions. Only members in good standing for at least three months are eligible to run for or hold a board position.
Pursuant to our Bylaws, “No person may serve for more than two terms in the same capacity,” except that the Treasurer, the Membership Chair, the Housing and Land Use Chair, and the Recycling Chair may serve for more than two terms.

Afterglow is an illuminated sculpture designed and installed by Joshua Hubert for the Haight Ashbury Merchant Association. Programmable LED fixtures will be strung overhead between the street poles above the sidewalks in a continuous synced display of colored light patterns that flow and pulse along a span of 0.45 mile length on Haight Street between Stanyan and Central.
An Estimated 840 full color RGB LED fixtures will be suspended between street poles along the length of Haight Street. Each fixture is a 120mm (4.75 in) white globe design spaced 6ft apart from each other and suspended 15ft above the sidewalk along steel Aircraft cable. The cable is tensioned with turnbuckles to take up sag and slack.
