Committees

Brighton Heights Citizens Federation is an all volunteer organization that promotes neighborhood improvement and a sense of community. One of the ways we do that is through our Committees. BHCF has longstanding Committees that meet regularly, and Special Committees that meet seasonally for things like annual events and celebrations. We also have Special Committees that meet to address specific needs that may arise. BHCF members and Brighton Heights residents are invited to get involved in an existing committee or create/lead a committee that you feel should exist to address a community need.

Here are our current, active Committees, the Committee Chairs, and members. If you would like to get involved, please send an email to bhcfpgh@gmail.com and we will direct you to the Committee Chair(s) who will follow up.
