RMIA Board of Directors
The board meets ten times per year, typically on the second Monday of the month at 7:00pm except in April and October, when the semi-annual meeting replaces the board meeting. Dates for semi-annual meetings vary based on the programming. The board does not meet during July and August for summer vacation. The location for each meeting can be found on the events page. Directors are members of RMIA, residents of Ravenswood Manor, and volunteer their time to improve our neighborhood.

Board members serve two years terms and officers are elected by a quorum of 1/10th of the membership each year. The Nominating Committee is always looking for new members who are interested in serving on the board. To find out more about serving on the board, contact the board president, by email at:
