MorningSide in Detroit

Today is the annual MorningSide Board elections. You will be voting to elect the candidates you would like to represent our community for the next year. MorningSide is encouraging you to get out and vote. Voting will start at 7:15 PM and end at 7:50 PM tonight. For your convenience we have included a copy of the ballot here.

Voting is extremely important because you are the ultimate overseers with the power to make a difference in our community by choosing the leaders who will continue to uplift our neighborhood.

It is the responsibility of every eligible MorningSide member (persons over the age of 18 who are home owners, business owners, landlords, renters, or the head of any public or private school or religious organization) to vote because collectively we can transform this neighborhood into “A Community on the Rise“.
