Board Meetings

Twice each year, the Board hosts open community meetings where residents are invited to attend, hear updates, ask questions, share feedback, and participate in discussions regarding the neighborhood and future initiatives.
​
The Brighton Green Community Board meets monthly to discuss neighborhood operations, projects, finances, maintenance, events, and community planning. Regular monthly board meetings are attended by board officers only to allow for efficient discussion and decision-making on behalf of the community.​

​Residents are always encouraged to share questions, concerns, suggestions, or contributions with the Board President at any time. Community input is valued and plays an important role in helping Brighton Green continue to grow and improve.
