Frequently Asked Questions

Houses

  1. What is a NAC

    The City of Beaverton currently has 13 recognized Neighborhood Association Committees, or NACs. The City’s Neighborhood Program offers support services to the NACs and acts as a liaison between NACs and the City. These services include mailing meeting materials, the Matching Fund program, providing leadership trainings, and collaborating with NACs on public involvement events and activities.

  2. How do I become a member of a NAC

    Participation in a NAC is open to anyone who lives, works, owns a business, or represents an institution or non-profit organization within the boundaries of the NAC. Membership is not contingent on home ownership.

  3. Are fees or membership dues required to join a NAC

    NACs do not charge membership fees or dues.

  4. Who runs NAC meetings

    NACs conduct their own meetings, draft their own agendas, and take their own minutes. NACs choose their own meeting dates and generally hold meetings on a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly basis. Board members and officers are elected annually.

  5. How do NACs benefit me and my community

    NACs provide neighbors with the opportunity to meet and discuss a variety of issues important to their neighborhood and the City. NACs promote ongoing communication and information sharing between neighbors and the NAC as well as between neighbors and the City.

    Additionally, NACs often collaborate with the City to sponsor public involvement events and activities. Some of these activities include an annual Neighborhood Cleanup Day and a Neighborhood Summit (designed to inform citizens about current events and issues that impact their community).

    The City also offers a Matching Fund program to assist NACs with neighborhood improvement projects, citizen involvement events, and other activities.

  6. How can I become more involved in my NAC

    A NAC member’s involvement can be as minimal as attending meetings, or as much as taking on the responsibility of a board member or officer. Officers include the chair, vice chair, recorder, and treasurer. NAC members participate in various events and volunteer activities throughout the year.
