Once a month, the full membership of Manhattan Community Board 4 (CB4) meets to, among other things, vote on letters whose calls to action and recommendations originated from the previous month’s committee meetings–where the real action is! All committee and Full Board meetings of CB4 are being held virtually, via Zoom, through 2023. Meeting dates, times, locations and agendas are current as of 3/31/2023 and are subject to change. For more info, click here to visit the CB4 website. To confirm meeting info, send an email to jbodine@cb.nyc.gov, negonzalez@cb.nyc.gov, and jpretente@cb.nyc.gov. Below, find a rundown on all April committee meetings. Note: This piece was published on April 3 and we’ll be adding more info about what’s on the agenda as CB4 makes that info public. Also Note: Missed a meeting? It happens to the best of us. Fortunately, CB4 maintains a well-curated YouTube channel, where you can livestream (but not partiipate in) all of its meetings, and access them after-the-fact in archive form.
