Greenways & Open Spaces Commission creates Education and Advocacy committee
Summary
The commission voted to establish an Education and Advocacy committee to coordinate outreach, education and coordination with Greenways for Nashville and other partners; staff will formalize membership and a scope for the committee.
The Greenways & Open Spaces Commission voted to establish an Education and Advocacy committee to focus commission attention on outreach, education and partnership building.
The commission discussed several possible subcommittees at an earlier meeting and returned to that idea after hearing the Plan to Play update and project briefings. Members said a single committee focused on education and advocacy would allow deeper, practical work without fragmenting a small volunteer commission.
Commissioners emphasized the need to coordinate closely with Greenways for Nashville, which already carries advocacy responsibilities, and discussed using the committee to organize educational field trips and deeper briefings on large projects such as the City Center Greenway and Browns Creek corridors.
A motion to create the committee was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Several commissioners signaled willingness to serve; staff will circulate a proposed committee charter, membership list and a schedule for the first meeting.
