A picture from the Outpost Neighborhood Association 2026 Annual Meeting.
The Outpost Neighborhood Association (ONA) Officers and Directors (the “Board”) are unpaid volunteers who live in Outpost Estates. The Board is made up of seven positions: three Officers (President, Vice President & Treasurer, and Secretary) and four Directors. All of them volunteer their time to chair or co-chair committees, or support ONA in other ways. See the 2026 Board for reference.
The Board is elected for a one-year term each January at the in-person ONA Annual Meeting by current ONA supporters. Once the Directors are elected, the Board votes on which members will serve as the three Officers for the one-year term.
The Board meets on the second Tuesday of January, April, July, and October at 6:30pm, and at special meetings as needed. View the calendar of upcoming meetings and events.
