What is a Block Captain?
Block Captains are the heart of HNA. They are the leaders of their Watch Groups. They set up neighborhood meetings; assist in planning block parties for their neighbor-hoods; listen to neighborhood concerns and issues; work closely with their HNA Board Representatives and HPD; and attend monthly member meetings, keeping them¬selves informed and passing information along to their neighbors. Block Captains and Block Co-Captains must be members of HNA. Once the Board of Directors has approved the proposed Block Captain(s) they begin a process which includes a back¬ground check and clearance through the California Department of Justice. They must attend the Community Academy, a training pro¬gram conducted by the HPD, that assists residents in knowing how to work effectively with the city and the HPD. All residents of Hayward are welcome to attend this valuable training.
