Acting Committees:
Events Committee
The events committee organizes various events to foster a closer-knit community. We add events to bring our neighbors together as we add members. The NGP Events committee seeks people interested in helping present a variety of social and fundraising events for neighbors of all ages.
Membership Committee
The role of the Membership Committee is to promote NGP membership, welcome new residents, and make information available so that all Gresham neighbors can be engaged in social and outreach activities, make informed decisions on issues that impact us individually or collectively, and foster an appreciation for our unique community.
Business & Economic Development
The Business and Economic Committee works to enhance the overall economic potential of the Gresham Park neighborhood. Encourage and assist businesses to establish in the Gresham Park neighborhood and to participate in the work of NGP.
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee is tasked with publishing a members e-newsletter, managing the website, and creating social media posts. This committee utilizes the skills of members with the ability to write/edit articles, design/layout newsletters, sell advertising, and post events. Photographers are also needed.
Education Committee
​The Education Committee seeks to connect NGP with community parents, students, and engaged residents to support the educational institutions in our neighborhood, advocate for our school district, and provide financial support for educational initiatives in our community. ​NGP understands that schools in our neighborhood do not have an established PTA, which is a priority concern of the current executive board.
Environmental Committee
The Environmental Committee promotes awareness of environmental concerns in the Gresham Park neighborhood, advises and encourages environmental stewardship of all public and private green spaces, including protecting wildlife habitat, and soliciting government funds or volunteers for park and green space improvements.
Public Safety Committee
The role of the Safety Committee is to assist in developing and implementing practices that make our community safe and managing programs that promote safety for its members.
Finance Committee
The role of the Finance Committee is to provide financial oversight for the organization and provide guidance for budgeting and financial planning, financial reporting, and the creation and monitoring of internal controls and accountability policies.
Zoning
The Zoning Committee acts on behalf of the board to address zoning, land use, licensing, and other planning issues that affect the quality of life for NGP residents and also makes recommendations on behalf of NGP to Dekalb County and the Land Use Commission.
