Announcements from the CHPV Annual Meeting

Access Membership

We are pleased to debut CHPV's new Access Membership. For our low-income community members, Access Membership grants all the benefits of Full Membership for only $100 annually. Visit chpv.org/join to learn more about Access Membership and the required income thresholds. There you can download the Access Membership flyer and application.

DEIA Task Force
 
As we build a better community of neighbors helping neighbors, we need to ensure that we are breaking down historic inequities and marginalizations within and beyond our own neighborhood. To that end, the Board is establishing a new task force to explore and recommend actions, opportunities, and partnerships to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) within the organization. Please contact us at info@chpv.org or 773-234-6428 if you are interested in participating in this initiative or wish to recommend someone.
