Committees

Committees are the heart of how the Midtown Brandywine Neighbors’ Association gets things done. Each committee focuses on a specific area of neighborhood life, from planning events to improving public safety, and helps turn shared goals into action.

Every committee is chaired by a member of the Board, but any neighbor who lives in Midtown Brandywine is welcome (and encouraged!) to join. It's a great way to get involved, meet others, and help shape the kind of neighborhood we all want to live in.

Events Committee
Organizes and supports social and fundraising activities in the neighborhood. Examples include the Spring and Fall Clean-Ups, Block Party, Progressive Dinner, Civic Socials, and Movie Nights.

Greenscape Committee
Maintains and improves the neighborhood’s physical aesthetics—manages projects like tree pit mulching, landscaping, and Pocket Park care.

Planning Committee
