NEIGHBORS OF GRESHAM PARK
Community Association
NGP Committees
Following the adoption of the 2026 Bylaws, Neighbors of Gresham Park formally established Standing Committees to strengthen our organization, expand member involvement, and ensure focused attention on key neighborhood priorities. These committees are where collaboration happens — where members work together to strengthen Gresham Park, address neighborhood priorities, and support the work of the community.
We invite members to get involved by completing the Committee Interest Survey to indicate your interest in serving as a Committee Member or Chairperson. Committee participation is limited to active NGP members — if you are not yet a member, we would for you to join us! You can become an NGP member here.
​
Please note that Committee Chairpersons also serve on the Board of Directors and are expected to actively participate in Board meetings and leadership responsibilities; prospective Chairs should review the Chairperson Roles & Responsibilities and participation expectations to ensure they can fully commit before submitting interest.
