Simple Organizing Tips
Organizing a neighborhood association is a big job. While it
may seem difficult at first, developing your association will
be enormously exciting as people come together to address common
problems and learn to work together as a group.
Keep in mind some important guidelines as you begin to organize:
- Building an organization is a process. It cannot be done
overnight. Be patient. Identify your priorities and build them
step-by-step.
- Set realistic goals. Start small and build upward. As your
organizational capacity grows, start setting your goals higher.
- How you treat people is crucial to your success. By treating
people with respect and integrity, people will be more likely
to get involved in the organization.
People join neighborhood groups for a variety of reasons. One
of them is to get to know their neighbors and to feel a sense
of community. So as you build your organization, be sure to have
fun.
