How to Hold and Organize Neighborhood Meetings

Communication Fosters Neighborhood Involvement

Communication is very important to the success of your association. Sharing information is a great way to build a sense of community in your neighborhood, get to know your neighbors and enlist support for your events and programs.

Ideas for promoting neighborhood meetings:

• Publish a neighborhood association newsletter four to 12 times a year.
• Team up with a nearby association to share the cost and work.
• Distribute fliers door-to-door.
• Distribute a neighborhood survey (and the results) by email, mail, phone or door-to-door.
• Ask permission to place notices, posters or fliers in laundromats, libraries, supermarkets and local businesses, etc.

• Set up a telephone tree and develop an email contact list.
