The 2026 board of directors includes three new members: John Heuerman, David Karstens, and Kevin Kelsey. They began serving in January. 

At the December 10 regular meeting, officers were elected. Karen Nordstrom will serve as president, Teresa Scott as vice president, and David Karstens as secretary. 

The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, February 20 at 2:00 pm at the community center. Note that although meetings have previously fallen on Wednesday evenings, the new board will decide on meeting dates and times, and will update the reader board monthly. 

The Facebook page used by some JBE members saw major changes in September. First, the name of the page is now Jefferson Beach Neighbors, better reflecting the fact that more than half of the members of the group live outside JBE.

Another change to note is that the page now has rules to help keep the information relevant to the broader audience and prevent potentially hurtful posts and comments. 

JBE members should not use the Facebook page to discuss issues such as the JBE bylaws, policies, board decisions, etc. Posts about these kinds of issues may be removed by the group admins.

Under the Members menu of this website, JBE members can register to join the Community Forum. It provides a secure place to discuss issues with other JBE members and the board of directors.
