BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Seville Square Historic District Neighborhood Association's Board of Directors is a dedicated group of volunteers elected from our membership. They work tirelessly to uphold our mission: to preserve and promote a safe, vibrant, and beautiful area for neighbors and visitors to enjoy. Through their community-focused efforts, the Board manages activities and oversees projects while fostering a spirit of generosity and community engagement.

Our nine-member Board does not address code enforcement or neighbor disputes but advocates for the neighborhood with local governments on matters such as zoning, permitting, and safety concerns. For issues related to parks, streets, streetlights, or sidewalks, please contact the City directly or use Pensacola 311 to report them.

 

Monthly board meetings are held at 5:30PM on the second Wednesday of each month. Committees meet as needed.

Current members are welcome to attend Board meetings as observers. Members and guests can address the Board during the Open Forum when on the agenda (please request time in advance). Check our calendar of events for the latest board meeting dates, times, and locations. These are subject to change, also feel free to contact the Board at info@sevillesquare.org or through the contact section of this website for updates.
