Committee Positions

SRCC maintains several standing committees focusing on different areas of interest, as well as temporary ad-hoc committees to address specific issues or goals. Participating on a committee is a great way to get involved in an area you are already interested in or to develop a new interest. The standing committees are: Planning and Zoning, Historic Preservation, Finance, Mobility, Public Safety, Parks and Environment, Schools and Communications. If you are interested in joining or learning more about any of these committees, please contact the committee chair listed on http://www.srccatx.org/officers/ or contact Eric Cassady, SRCC President, president@srccatx.org

Several committees are currently seeking new chairs. Committee chairs are voting members of SRCC’s executive committee and have the opportunity to help lead and shape the organization as a whole. General duties of committee chairs include: Staying informed and engaged regarding the committee’s area of responsibility, focusing on issues that directly impact the neighborhood; acting as a liaison between SRCC and city and other agencies as needed; providing a contact point for neighbors’ questions and concerns; and reviewing issues and making policy recommendations to the executive committee.

Mobility Committee Chair

If you’re interested in issues regarding streets, sidewalks, public transit, traffic (including bicycles, pedestrians,and vehicles), and other transportation that affect your neighborhood, this position is for you!

Land Development Code Ad-Hoc Committee Chair

CodeNext may be in the past, but new efforts to revise Austin’s land development code are underway. Keep up with what’s happening and make sure your neighborhood’s voice is heard on these issues by leading this committee. The committee already has several members and a secretary, so plenty of support is available to get the new chair up to speed!

A new ad-hoc committee is forming to brainstorm creative ways to increase SRCC’s membership, member participation, and engagement with the neighborhood. We are currently seeking a chair and members for this committee, which has not started meeting yet.
