There are also people with different expectations of what the organization is and what it should do. A neighborhood association gets involved in a spectrum of activities whose common denominator is the enhancement of the neighborhood. Because of all this, some involvements are of interest to some members, but of little or no interest to others. The members of a neighborhood association are all volunteers. Their stake in the group is their concern for their neighborhood.
Membership usually consists in the payment of nominal dues.
For those who are involved, it also consists in a time commitment. Usually, the people who are actively involved are a small percentage of the total membership This is not unlike any other organization. This nucleus of members serves in the leadership positions. Depending on the group's structure, they serve as officers, committee members, block leaders, etc. Decisions for acting on any issue are determined in a democratic manner at meetings.
