The three-committee flywheel

One system. Three accountable operating lanes.

One primary lead

Every program and event has one accountable committee, even when other committees support it.

Written handoffs

Residents, partners, and projects crossing lanes move with a documented referral, owner, and next step.

Three levels of proof

Attendance and delivery are outputs; participant change is an outcome; neighborhood conditions are impact.

All community members are welcome to join, contribute, and pursue an open position. Committees recommend and execute approved work; the Heritage & Opportunity Alliance Board retains governance, financial, contractual, and public-position authority.
