Executive Committee

The Community Board is the official municipal body whose mission is to advise and confer with government agencies, often in conjunction with local elected officials, on matters affecting the social and economic welfare of the district. The Committee Chairpersons of Bronx Community Board 7 do this by providing an open forum where residents can express their concerns involving the projects, programs and policies that affect their neighborhoods.
