Through its Board of Directors, committees, and working groups, CNHED establishes annual advocacy priorities spanning an array of community development issues. Its members are integral to the research and discussion that goes into these decisions, as well as their implementation in connecting with city officials and the general public.

CNHED’s main communication piece is its members-only weekly e-newsletter, the F.Y.I. The FYI highlights important work of the coalition, its specific members, upcoming CNHED and related events, Council sessions and hearings, and other announcements that are of interest to its members. CNHED members can also receive timely advocacy updates and news flashes via email.

CNHED members connect at monthly meetings featuring experts and city officials, a number of special events throughout the year, and CNHED’s annual event. CNHED members may also be eligible to broadcast themselves on CNHED’s expansive communications network.
