The year 2022 is the beginning of a new era at streets.mn. Among our many plans are starting a paid writing pilot program, continuing anti-racism work (internal and external) and launching a podcast. We, the board of streets.mn, take on these projects, as well as our general operational responsibilities as a working board, with the awareness that we are the first board of streets.mn to not include any original founders of the organization.

Those of us on the board who remain from before 2020 have a deep understanding of the work former board members devoted to providing more structure for the board of streets.mn. Many of those past members expressed fondly the idea that their work was like raising a child from infancy to adulthood. I do not know if we are all grown up yet, but nevertheless we now set out on our own, as a fully-formed board composed of individuals recruited for specific abilities and perspectives meant to strengthen streets.mn as an organization.  

Before we set off into this new era, we pause to acknowledge the contributions of those who came before us. The 2022 board of streets.mn is grateful to every past member of the board of streets.mn for their work to make our organization what it is today. We aspire to avail ourselves of the foundation you built and make you proud with the building blocks we add during our time on the board.

Thank you to our past board members:

Sincerely,

Your 2022 streets.mn Board of Directors
