Community Committee Members
CIDNA has ambitious plans for 2021: more events, more engagement, more work on the issues that matter to CIDNA residents. But we need your help!

Active community committees and working groups are how CIDNA accomplishes the work of keeping our neighborhood livable, vibrant, and sustainable. We are looking for folk to join the following committees:

  • Land Use
  • Transportation
  • Environment
  • Social/Events
  • Communications
  • Joint Safety Committee (with West Maka Ska)

For more information, please stop by the CIDNA table at the Fall Festival (see below) or send an email to: info@cidna.org.
