Committees

Every UNNC Committee is open to and welcomes the support and participation of every UNNC stakeholder.  

In general, the important work of UNNC is conducted at the committee level - addressing issues, recommending UNNC expenditures, developing community based initiatives, programs and projects all occur in UNNC Committees.

For Information about joining any UNNC Committee or Meeting schedule, please email the appropriate Committee Chair.

Recreation & Parks: This Committee is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the limited park space within UNNC's boundaries.

The UNNC Economic Development Committee mission:
Promoting economic growth and development through community participation and support.

Economic Development: the work of this committee focuses on initiatives which strengthen the business services available to our community and encourage smart, sustainable economic viability. The Committee works with the business community and residents. It has hosted mixers for the business community, surveyed business owners and operators to assess their priorities and concerns and, with the Planning & Zoning Committee, works on a Task Force to Create a specific plan for growth and development along Washington Boulevard, a project which UNNC believes can serve as a model for every business thoroughfare within UNNC.
