What is the difference between the Resident Forum and the Resident Council?

In spite of the name, the “Resident Forum” is an event put on by the administration, not the Resident Council. Residents, and even Council members, sometimes make announcements at the Resident Forum, but it is primarily a program of administration presentations combined with a Q&A session. Topics covered often include: employee anniversaries, new employee introductions, upcoming events, etc. Sometimes, an administration department is featured, and various other topics are covered, ranging from Operations updates to budget discussions.

How can I get involved with a Committee or Workgroup?

Many Council Committees and Workgroups are looking for new members. Get in touch with the chair of the Committee or Group you are interested in. They can provide more details on what the group does and what kind of help they need. See Who to Contact to Get Involved or to Discuss a Concern.
