The annual public meeting of the Broad Ripple Village Association (BRVA) was held at the Indianapolis Art Center on October 21, 2014. The BRVA board of directors election is held during the annual meeting. This year there were six board positions open and there were 12 candidates.

The meeting was held in the library of the Art Center, instead of in the auditorium. The candidates were available before the meeting for questions by the attendees.

Current BRVA president Justin McKeand opened the meeting around 7:15pm. The library was packed with about 70 attendees. Justin explained that his one-year term as BRVA president ends on Dec 31, 2014, when he will become past president and Elizabeth Marshall will take over as president for 2015.

Justin presented slides on each of the BRVA subcommittees and what was accomplished in 2014. From time to time raffle prizes donated by local businesses were awarded to meeting attendees.

Next, special recognition was paid to six who made special contributions to the Villlage - Jay Wetzel, Rich Bees, Micha Rabinowitch, Sue Zilisch, Brenda Rising-Moore, and Tom Healy.

After the meeting everyone enjoyed food from Monon Food Company and Union Jack Pub and beers from Broad Ripple Brewpub.

As of press time, the board election ballots were still being counted, paying special attention to the absentee ballots.
