Become a Member of the Civic Alliance

The Civic Alliance is a coalition of organizations formed to 'raise the bar' for the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan by involving the public in the planning process and encouraging innovation and excellence in design and planning for Downtown New York. We are focused on involving a broad cross-section of the tri-state region and we welcome organizational involvement from a wide variety of non-profits, business groups, community organizations, labor representatives, educational and cultural organizations, etc. To have your organization be listed as a member, all you have to do is get involved. First, email info@civic-alliance.org and include your organization's name, a brief summary of its mission, and a contact person's name, email, address and phone number. The contact should be the person who will represent your organization at Civic Alliance meetings (although multiple members of one organization are welcome to participate.) We will then add you to the Civic Alliance email list, and you will be notified of monthly Civic Alliance meetings. As soon as you being attending meetings, your organization will be listed as a participant.

To become optimally involved, join one of the working groups of the Civic Alliance. The Civic Alliance has eight working groups on: Civic Amenities; Economic Development; Memorials; Social, Economic, and Environmental Justice; Green Buildings and Sustainable Systems; Urban Design; Regulatory Framework; and Transportation. The working groups conduct research and produce findings and recommendations for the Civic Alliance, which will be included in the Civic Alliance's Final Planning Framework to Rebuild Downtown New York at the end of 2003. To become of a member of a working group, contact the working group staff person directly to be notified of upcoming meetings. For information on each of the working groups, click the hotlinks above.
