Committees

We have a number of committees that work on affairs in RHE. If you are interested in joining any of the committees listed below, please let a board member know.

We welcome anybody who would like to help!

Standing Committees are defined in the RHENA Bylaws. These committees are to be appointed within the 90 days following the Annual Meeting each year. They include:

• • Nominating Committee -- the Nominating Committee recruits members interested in running for positions on the Board. 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 finding members to fill positions that may become vacant mid-year.

  • Financial Review Committee -- the Financial Review Committee reviews the Treasurer's records prior to the Annual Meeting each year. The committee presents its findings to the Board and then to the RHENA members at the meeting. This committee is also responsible for reviewing the records any time the office of Treasurer is transferred from one person to another.

Ad Hoc Committies have been established over the years to handle specific objectives. (Some of these "committees" are made up of one person.) They include:

• • Welcome Committee -- This group delivers Welcome Packets to new neighbors. Packets are assembled as needed. Contact a board member if you would like one for yourself or for a new neighbor. (Delivery time is dependent on availability of committee members.)

  • Activities Committee -- This person or group helps plan a neighborhood party and other activities during the year. Contact a board member if you have ideas or would like to help.

• • Traffic Circle Committee -- This group maintains the five traffic circles in RHE and the bump-outs at Lind & Campbell and Olsen & Ft Lowell, by trimming trees & bushes, picking up litter, and making repairs when necessary. If you want to report a problem or you would like to help, contact a board member. See the Traffic Circle Guidelines for information about what is allowed in the Traffic Circles.

  • Neighborhood Concerns Committee -- This group handles issues that could impact the appearance, safety, or quality of life in RHE. This includes the issues listed in the City of Tucson's Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance (unsafe structures, public nuisances, junked motor vehicles, noise, graffiti, loud parties, accumulation of refuse &/or vegetation, illegal dumping, littering, weeds, composting, burning of refuse, and dumping on public property or on another person's property), as well as reporting graffiti, and scheduling roll-offs (see Dumpster Etiquette for how to use the roll-offs properly).

  • Listserv Committee -- The listserv (email list) provides neighbors a way to reach other neighbors without having to know everybody's email address. This "committee" is made up of the Listserv Moderator (and possibly a backup), who adds & removes members to the listserv, and moderates the email for spam and emails that don't follow the RHENA Listserv User Guidelines.

  • Newsletter Committee -- The RHENA newsletter is typically published two times a year. The "committee" is typically made up of the Newsletter Editor, who writes most of the articles, formats the newsletter as required by the City, and submits it to be printed & mailed. Articles by RHE residents or businesses are welcome. However, because the City of Tucson pays for printing & mailing, advertisements are not allowed.

  • Website Committee -- The RHENA website provides a way for neighbors & others to learn about RHENA. This "committee" is made up of the "webmaster" who is responsible for keeping the website accurate & up to date. If you have questions, corrections, or would like to help, contact the Webmaster.

If you are interested in serving on the RHENA Board, or helping with any of the committees described above, contact the RHENA Board.
