Membership is open to all residents, businesses and property owners of Evanston. We welcome participation by all members of the community.

​

Only members who are residents of Evanston may vote in the annual election and on issues the membership chooses to limit to residents.

Non-resident members can present and discuss issues, participate on committees, make motions for a vote and vote whenever residency is not

called.

​

All residents are eligible to vote for projects funded by the city’s Neighborhood Support Program. The Council is made up of long-term residents

from the Evanston community. Elections are held on the third (3rd) Thursday of September, bi-annually. Officers serve two-year terms.
