Board and VOlunteering
We are all the beneficiaries of those who gave their time and talent to this neighborhood before us. We hope you will volunteer and contribute to the well-being of our community. There are many ways to do so. You can join the ECA Board or volunteer for a single event or need by reaching out to the person on the Board who is leading that event. You can also find the minutes from our meetings, our bylaws and other related materials here. If you want access to links or minutes that are not available below, please email us and we will help you.
