What’s Whittier Neighborhood Day?
Whittier Neighborhood Day is an opportunity to eat delicious food from neighborhood restaurants, meet your neighbors and elected officials, and learn about ways to plug into the amazing local organizing happening here in Whittier!
We’ll have kid-friendly activities by our friends at the Children’s Theater Company and live screen printing for all ages.
Whittier Neighborhood Day will also serve as Whittier Alliance’s annual meeting and election kickoff. If you’re a Whittier resident, property owner, or business owner, you can vote on our board members and committees for 2025. You can learn more about voting and running for the board below.
Participate in the Annual Meeting Election
Whittier residents and individuals owning property or a business in the Whittier neighborhood are members of the Whittier Alliance. In order to exercise their voting rights, members must first verify their voting eligibility. They will then be added to a registered voter list and kept on file for future voting opportunities. If you are not sure whether you are registered, we encourage you to complete the form below.
Once voter eligibility is established, rights of members may be exercised immediately. Membership includes the right to vote at Whittier Alliance Acting Committee Meetings, the Annual Meeting, Special Meetings of the membership, and for the election of board members and Chairs for all Acting Committees. The methods through which residents, property owners, and business owners can each establish their voting eligibility are outlined in the Whittier Alliance Bylaws on pages 2-3
Verified voters who submit an email will automatically be sent an electronic ballot to vote online. Those without email, or who prefer to vote in person, can do so at the Whittier Alliance office. Voting hours are listed below.
