What does a neighbor association do? At the heart of neighborhood associations, they pride themselves on fostering community bonds and enhancing their neighborhood’s charm. Here are some specific areas that can be further explored and implemented to boost your neighborhood’s impact:
Events
Plan, coordinate, implement and support events such as Wine and Cheese Socials, Easter Egg Hunts, Garden Tours, July 4th Celebrations, Music/Concert Series, Garage Sales, Golf Outings, Halloween Soirees, Santa Visits and Winter/Park Playdates.
Communications
At the core of your association, having all neighborhood information reside in a secure but transparent (for residents) website is necessary. Using registrations from your website, automate email lists into tools such as MailChimp. Create a PO box for physical mailings to the board. As a bonus, provide a neighborhood directory for neighbors to connect.
Green Initiatives
Contribute to the preservation and enhancement of greenspaces. The Greenspace Committee for a neighborhood plays a pivotal role in maintaining the landscapes, organizing planting initiatives, and ensuring that parks remain a sanctuary for residents and wildlife alike.
Neighborhood Development
Make your voices heard and be seen to the city or township you belong to. From hosting community forums to driving vital infrastructure upgrades and enhancing your neighborhood park, focus on elevating the quality of life in your neighborhood.
Preserve Your Legacy
Create and support the vital work that a History Committee can create. Ensure your neighborhood’s stories remain preserved for future generations. Your neighborhood legacy will create a common thread among each new generation living in your neighborhood.
Make your neighborhood association a force for good! This in turn will help continue to make your neighborhood a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
