Committees

The East Andersonville Residents' Council is a non-profit membership organization comprised of residents and businesses in the neighborhood. We are dedicated to ensuring that East Andersonville remains a diverse, vibrant and safe community for residents and visitors alike.

The strength of our organization comes from our various committees.

Come join us so that we can work together to keep our neighborhood Chicago's best place to live, work, learn and play!

Newsletter & Communications

The Newsletter & Communications Committee oversees the preparation and distribution of the neighborhood newsletter, oversees the Association website, responds to email messages, and handles general marketing issues for EARC. The eastandersonville.org website exists in tandem with the newsletter and includes important information on the history, happenings and resources for the community. Both are produced with information gathered from the SNA Board of Directors, our public officials and the City of Chicago to ensure communication of important information to our membership. Input from Association members and neighbors is very welcome.
