Community board member says boards help neighbors understand the city and make change
Summary

Speaker 1, a community board member, said, "What made me become a community board member was trying to better understand the city." They described community boards as a place where residents hear presentations, meet neighbors and discuss local issues.
"I feel like community boards are a really good place to kind of get situated in what's going on because you have so many different presentations, you have your neighbors show up, and then you can discuss what's going on," Speaker 1 said, describing the board as a venue for learning and community engagement. They added that the board gives people a starting point to figure out how to work with neighbors to create change.
