Neighborhood Formation and Support Committee (contact)
The Neighborhood Formation and Support (“NFS”) Committee works closely with the Board, the other Standing Committees and the Office of Neighborhoods in ensuring the vitality of the NOrgs, who are the basic building block of ONE-PS. For neighborhoods that are not covered by a NOrg, the NFS Committee leads in stimulating the development of new NOrgs by identifying interested individuals in the neighborhood, advising in the development of its boundaries, meeting standards, bylaws and finances, and attending initial meetings. For active existing NOrgs, the NFS Committee attends whenever possible their annual and special meetings and is the key point of contact for ensuring their continued viability, participation in ONE-PS activities and, working with the Governance and Finance Committees, compliance with their legal and financial obligations. For existing NOrgs that have become inactive, the NFS Committee has the key role in efforts to revitalize them. In all these activities, the NFS Committee takes the lead in developing a database of best practices, procedures, resources and personnel for use by the NOrgs. The NFS Committee also maintains and archives the records of NOrg involvement in ONE-PS and works with the Governance Committee in developing data security guidelines and procedures for the NOrgs, which, if approved by the Membership, will be binding on all NOrgs.
