OUR BOARD

YDDA Board members serve for four year terms.

The terms are staggered so that every year three board positions will be available for designation.

If you are interested in becoming a YDDA Board member, please submit a letter of interest to Mayor Amanda Edmonds at mayor@cityofypsilanti.com.

To keep the YDDA moving towards achieving all of our long term goals, we also have two standing committees that meet each month.

These committees are: Grants and Operations & Finance. Each committee is made up of a combination of YDDA board members and community-at-large members.

In addition to the two standing committees, the YDDA may periodically designate Ad Hoc or Subcommittees designed to address very specific projects as needed.

A full schedule of all of the 2016 YDDA meetings can be found here.
