Dear Neighbors,

The future strength and vitality of our Village depends many things, including active participation of its residents. This is our opportunity to lend our expertise, passion, and unique perspective to the projects and decisions that will guide our community for years to come. No prior experience is necessary—just a commitment to serve and a desire to make a difference.

Below are six Committees.

Serving on a committee typically requires a modest time commitment of a few hours per week, but any amount of involvement is appreciated.
