  MISSION STATEMENT

In May of 1999, the Eugene City Council adopted the following mission statement for Neighborhood Associations:

Our mission is to build community at the neighborhood level and improve the livability of the City's neighborhoods. Neighborhood Associations do this by:

• Sponsoring neighborhood improvement projects and social events; • Providing a forum to identify, discuss, and resolve neighborhood issues • Establishing a two-way communication between neighborhoods and the City, and between neighborhoods and other external agencies; • Educating neighbors on issues, public process, City services, and elections; • Identifying and Advocating the Neighborhood Association's position on issues such as land use, transportation, public safety, and social services.

Our neighbors are those who live, work, or own property within our boundaries.

   STEERING COMMITTEE

Our Amazon Steering Committee is a connector between our grassroots and other Eugene neighborhoods and the city. It plans and sponsors potlucks and general meeting programs. It also initiates programs such as Green Neighbors Bicycle Tours and collaborations with Camas Ridge Community School, the Masonic Cemetery, and Temple Beth Israel. It has representation on city-wide committees dealing with tenant noise, infill, bicyclist and pedestrian safety, and sustainability.

Won’t you consider joining the Amazon Steering Committee (nominations are open until the General Meeting in November ) or one of its working groups?
