Downtown Long Beach’s East Village Association (EVA) is currently accepting nominations for its board of directors through March 26, according to a statement from EVA.

The EVA said all positions, including president, treasurer, secretary, vice president of residents and vice president of businesses, are up for election and each position is for a two-year term.

The positions are open to residents and business owners who want to run for a representative seat in his or her respective neighborhood quadrant, including north west, north east, south west and south east.

The East Village stretches from Long Beach Boulevard to Alamitos Avenue and Tenth Street to Ocean Boulevard, with quadrants’ dividing lines being Fourth Street and Atlantic Avenue.

“Recognizing the EVA’s expansive geographic area, the EVA boundaries are divided into quadrants to ensure there is representation on the board from all areas of the neighborhood,” the EVA said in a statement.

Those nominating will need to submit a completed short nomination form, as well as a brief description of qualifications; proof of residency or business ownership within respective EVA quadrant boundaries; and an optional photo.

When the nomination process closes March 26, applications will then be reviewed and candidate statements will be posted.

An election will be held on April 9 at 7:00PM, with a 6:00PM check-in, at the ArtExchange, located at 356 East Third Street.
