The Southeast Como Improvement Association (SECIA) has now merged into the East Bank Neighborhoods Partnership (EBNP).
This merging of SECIA, the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association (MHNA), and the Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood Association (NIEBNA) was certified by the MN Secretary of State on November 4, 2024. EBNP continues to operate as a 501(c)(3).
Over these next few months, and into 2025, we will be developing a new website, newsletter, social media universe, and will be retooling and refining our committees, projects, and other work.
The EBNP held its first official board meeting on December 7, 2024, where it elected its officers, adopted bylaws and other policies, and hired an Executive Director. The EBNP office will be at the former site of the former Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association office:
East Bank Neighborhoods Partnership
500 8th Avenue SE
Minneapolis, MN 55414
If you have questions about this merger, please contact Chris Lautenschlager, EBNP Executive Director, at [email protected].
Along with our legal team, accountant and bookkeeper, as well as our website developer, we are working hard to get everything functioning as quickly as possible. But please be patient. Fortunately, December is typically the slowest time of the year for association activity.
Enjoy the holidays.
