Neighborhood Executive Committee

In the early 1990s, the City formed the Neighborhood Executive Committee for neighborhood leaders to gather and discuss issues, successes and ways they could improve their neighborhoods. Participation in the NEC is based on membership rather than location, and is open to any voluntary neighborhood group or homeowners association in the City that meets and maintains requirements.

NEC meets on the second Tuesday of odd-numbered months at 6 p.m. at Matt Ross Community Center. All are welcome to attend. During meetings, residents receive updates from City Council, Planning Commission, the Community Policing Unit, Community Services and City staff.

NEC Membership

To become an official member of the NEC, neighborhoods or homeowners associations must:

  • Attend four NEC meetings in a 12-month period,
  • Hold an annual meeting or social event where all residents are invited to participate,
  • And file bylaws with the Overland Park Neighborhood Services Section.

Work within the NEC is adaptable and based on the expressed interests and needs of neighborhood leaders and/or regional resources available to residents.
