There are many ways to participate in the neighborhood, not just running for a seat on the board. Several committees help discuss, brainstorm, plan and enact the work the neighborhood wants to see. If you are interested in participating in any of the following committees, or have ideas for other efforts, please reach out to us at westendboise@gmail.com or contact the committee chair listed below.
Committees meet separately from the regular monthly board meetings and schedules vary. Please contact the committee chair for more information and meeting times.
