Frequently Asked Questions about TERA
What does TERA stand for?
The Eagle Rock Association.
Is TERA a homeowners’ association?
No. TERA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that operates independently from the City and is funded primarily by grants and donations from its members. The Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council (ERNC) is a citizen advisory board made up of elected members of the community, which receives city funding and operates according to the rules established for neighborhood councils by the city’s Department of Neighborhood Empowerment.
Does TERA take positions on neighborhood issues?
Yes. Our Board frequently studies issues of concern to the neighborhood; reviews presentations from government agencies, developers, and other organizations; and takes informed stances representing our membership. These are most frequently published in the form of letters to Council District 14 or in our newsletter — sign up for it here: http://tera90041.org/newsletter/sign-up/.
Does TERA have volunteer opportunities?
Yes. While many functions of TERA are successfully operated by our dedicated board members, we welcome and occasionally rely on volunteer support.
I have special skills and want to give back to the community, can I help?
Yes. If you wish to offer your special talents to help TERA’s mission, we warmly welcome your support. Whether it is research, data analysis, photoshop, graphic design, writing, fundraising, photography, or something else, we eagerly look forward to any opportunity to collaborate.
