GACC NOMINATING COMMITTEE

TASK: TO PRESENT A SLATE OF CANDIDATES

FOR 2026 GACC OFFICERS AND BOARD MEMBERS

AT THE OCTOBER 1st GACC MEETING

AND A FINAL SLATE AT THE NOVEMBER 5th MEETING FOR A VOTE

The GACC Nominating Committee works to find volunteers willing to serve as Avenues Council Board Members and Officers for each annual elected period.  We are currently seeking nominees for the 2026 calendar year.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to serve on the Board of the GACC? It’s so much more than just planning our monthly community meetings–although we do that too. 

Serving on the GACC Board is a volunteer position where you can help plan the GACC’s efforts to improve the quality of life for all Avenues residents. This happens by you attending board meetings or perhaps by serving as a committee chair on efforts we make as a council that align with your interests – such as the Service Committee or Civic Engagement Committee. 

Also it happens as our board members and committees help plan and organize events to educate and bring the community together, such as our Memory Grove Cleanup or our annual Avenues Street Fair, our Emergency Preparedness events, our Community Garden, and our Avenues Community Improvements Grants program. 

In addition to board member positions, the 2026 GACC Officer positions that are up for election include:

Chair-Elect, Treasurer, and Secretary.

 

See more about the GACC Board of Directors HERE.

At our October 1 Community Meeting, the tentative slate of candidates for officers and board members for 2026 will be announced.

Any additional interested individuals may also nominate themselves or others at that time if they are present at the meeting.

Elections on the final slate of candidates will occur at our November 5 Community Meeting.

Email Nominating Committee Chair Joseph “Jurphy” Murphy, gaccpastchair@slc-avenues.org, with any questions, or to submit yourself or someone else as a nominee.

Volunteer

The Greater Avenues Community Council is an all-volunteer community group working to improve the quality of life for all Avenues residents. There are many ways for you to get involved!

Community Gardens

Attend Meetings
Get to know your community and the issues we face by attending our monthly Community Council meetings. Join us the 1st Wednesday of every month at 6 PM at the Sweet Library (445 F Street). Board meetings fall on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, also at Sweet Library at 6 PM, and are open to the public. 

Become a Board Member
Represent your Avenues by serving on the GACC Board. The GACC seeks new board members annually, beginning in September for the following calendar year. Elections are held in November and board members serve an annual term. Board members bring issues forth, participate in community discussions, determine monthly meeting agendas, contribute to our monthly newsletter (The Agenda) and serve on committees working to improve our community. Contact Merrliee Morgan our 2024 Nominating Committee Chairperson if you would like to be a 2025 Board Member. View our current GACC Board and our Vision & Bylaws.

Avenues Street Fair
There are dozens of opportunities to help with the annual Avenues Street Fair in the months before or on the day of the Fair. Learn more here.

Memory Grove Cleanup
Bring your family for a morning of service dedicated to beautifying this historic community park. Learn about the work of the Memory Grove Foundation

Committees
You don’t have to be a board member to get involved with the GACC. Committees are integral to getting work done in our community. Learn about them here.

Sponsor
Sponsor the GACC by making a donation. We use GACC funds to make community improvements, and to pay for our monthly newsletter and web page

Apply to volunteer and someone will get back to you soon.

ADVERTISE WITH US

The GACC newsletter, The Agenda, is mailed monthly to all of the approximately 9,000 residences and businesses within the Avenues boundaries, including the north side of South Temple, everything connecting to and east of Canyon Road leading to Memory Grove, all of Federal Heights, all of Arlington Hills, Northcrest and residences at the University of Utah. See our boundary map HERE.

In addition to the printed newsletter sent via snail mail, we also publish an online version of our newsletter in full color with live url links and expanded articles.

Our latest online newsletter is HERE.

The purpose of our newsletter is to inform Avenues residents and businesses about our monthly community meetings and to provide information about community issues and the activities of the Greater Avenues Community Council.

Our newsletter committee gathers the content for each issue as approved monthly by the GACC Board of Directors. The committee compiles and lays out our newsletter each month using InDesign. We then package the newsletter by the 20th of each month and send it to our printer Sun Lithograph. Sun prints the newsletter and delivers it to the US Postal Service Bulk mail office for mailing. 

We reserve the right to edit all content, articles and advertisements for content, appearance, and size.

All ads in our newsletter print in grayscale (black and white). All ads in our online newsletter appear in full color with live url links.

Ad Sizes & Rates
The Agenda features several options for ad sizing. Ads can run month-to-month, or on an annual contract. The annual commitment is the equivalent of one month free, and is an 11% discount over the month-to-month rate.

All ads must be prepaid.

See our current 2025 Ad Rate and Size Chart HERE
