WBNA Board Leadership Update: Request for Community Engagement
by Margaret McGhee-Sufke, WBNA acting Director
Last year I stepped back from the leadership role. Shortly after the new board was sworn in a few board members’ commitments changed unexpectedly. I continued to serve, helping to ensure that the 2025 events and programs took place and it was business as usual. It was a very successful year for the community and the group.
As the WBNA team gears up to close out the year with the Luminary Fest Crafts, 2026 Calendar Sales and the current membership drive—it’s time to take stock. At the beginning of each year we hold our elections and host the required annual town hall meeting. In 2026 we are slated to loose four of the current board members. That is significant. There are two new members, who have taken on active roles in the group but they will need the help and support from community members who are ready to take an active role.
The WBNA remains a vibrant and important association within the neighborhood. It is the only group that spans the entire community, whether you own your home or rent, live in an apartment, have kids or are a senior and regardless of being in or out of the WB MUD District or in one of the 6 separate HOAs. Since 1992, a dedicated group of volunteers have lead this invaluable organization, building community together.
Please consider taking an active role in the group. Without new board members helping to lead the activities and programs, the WBNA will cease to exist. Share your ideas and energy along with your friends and neighbors and help to preserve the WBNA and spirit of Wells Branch—that’s what makes our community so special.
