SABA has created the four following committees to focus on the areas that can provide the most impact to our neighborhood. We also want to ensure that it’s easy for our partners to work with us as well as for interested individuals to figure out how they can get involved. To that end, if you have an issue or idea that falls under one of these committees, feel free to reach out to any committee member. If you’d like to volunteer on a committee, please let us know!
