What does the Boise Neighborhood Association do?

The Association is made up of its members, which include everyone who lives and works in the neighborhood. Members are able to be elected or appointed to the board, but being on the board is just one way to serve in your community. Anyone can work on a project, volunteer, or start a committee. Anyone can organize a volunteer event or throw a block party. Whether the board chooses to endorse or support the project, committee, or event would be decided by vote at a neighborhood or LUTC meeting. 

At meetings, association members and board members discuss neighborhood issues and decide how to act in a way that represents the association. Sometimes they form committees to work on a particular issue, such as affordable housing, parking, or beautification. Sometimes they vote to write a letter of support on an issue or for a certain organization.
