2024 Amani United Election
KIMBERLY WATTS-HOWELL
Running for Vice President
“One goal I would like to achieve as a member of Amani United is to push more community involvement within the organizations (city, county, or other stakeholders) working together for a common goal. Not only our neighborhood-based events, but other events where neighbors can have fun, make friends, and rebuild all communities. My motto is: Reach one, teach one!”
CHRISTAL WEST
Running for Housing & Economic Development Chair
“We need to focus on foreclosed properties, filling vacant lots, illegal dumping, homelessness; which, in turn reduces crime, builds beauty, unity and trust within Amani. I have the skills, lived experiences, community network and passion to successfully address these areas.”
Elected positions are chosen by the vote of Amani residents and one vote per partner organization. The Board Officer positions serve two-year terms and the Committee Chairs serve four-year terms.
