We have a number of Committees working on issues in RHE. If you are interested in helping out with any of the committees listed below, please contact the committee or let a board member know.

We welcome anybody who would like to help!

Standing Committees are defined in the RHENA Bylaws. These committees should be appointed within 90 days of the Annual meeting each year. They include:

• • Nominating Committee -- the Nominating Committee recruits members interested in running for Board positions each year. The Committee presents the slate of candidates to the Board prior to the Annual Meeting and conducts the election at the Meeting. This Committee is also responsible for filling positions that open mid-year. If you would like to be a member of the Nominating Committee, or if you are interested in serving on the Board, email nominating.comm@rhenatucson.org.

  • Financial Review Committee -- the Financial Review Committee reviews the records maintained by the Treasurer prior to the Annual Meeting each year. The Committee presents its findings to the Board and to the Association members at the Annual Meeting. This Committee is also responsible for reviewing the records any time the office of Treasurer is transferred from one person to another. If you are interested in serving on the Financial Review Committee, email finance.comm@rhenatucson.org.

Ad Hoc Committies have been established by the Board to handle specific objectives. They include:

Community Committee -- The Community Committee is made up of two groups that help bring the residents of RHE closer together as a community.

• • Welcome -- This group delivers Welcome Packets to new neighbors. Packets are assembled as needed. Email welcome@rhenatucson.org if you would like one for yourself or for a new neighbor. (Delivery time is dependent on availability of committee members.) You are welcome to join us when we go to meet a new neighbor!

  • Activities -- This group helps plan a yearly party and other activities during the year. Email activities@rhenatucson.org if you have ideas or would like to help.

Neighborhood Preservation Committee -- This committee is made up of groups that address issues that could affect the appearance, safety or livability of RHE.

• • Traffic Circles -- This group maintains the five traffic circles in RHE and the bump-outs at Lind/Campbell and Olsen/Ft Lowell, by trimming the trees & bushes, picking up litter, and making repairs when necessary. If you want to report a problem or you would like to help, email traffic.circles@rhenatucson.org.

  • Neighborhood Issues -- This group handles issues that could impact the safety and quality of life of RHE residents. Problems listed in the City of Tucson's Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance include: unsafe structures, public nuisance, junked motor vehicles, noise, graffiti, loud parties, accumulation of refuse & vegetation, illegal dumping, littering, weeds, composting, burning of refuse, and dumping on another person's property or public property.

Communications Committee -- This Committee works to establish and maintain communication among the residents of RHE using the following tools:

• • Listserv -- The Listserv (email list) provides residents a way to reach other residents without having to know individual email addresses. Send email to listserv@rhenatucson.org to be added to the list or if you have concerns or questions.

  • Website -- Email webmaster@rhenatucson.org if you have suggestions, questions or concerns, or if you would like to help.

  • Newsletter -- The newsletter is usually published annually. Articles by RHE residents or businesses are welcome. Email newsletter@rhenatucson.org if you would like to contribute an article or write a Letter to the Editor.
