DUPONT PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION COMMITTEES
DPCA uses committees to help preserve and shape the quality of life of residents within Dupont Park. The committees formed and operated by DPCA members carry out the ongoing work of the organization. DPCA also appoints members to serve on external committees, which are operated by the city or other local organizations, and whose interests and activities are important to the neighborhood. DPCA membership is a prerequisite for appointment to these committees.
