| Webster Street is On the Move
Webster Street is on the move, and the West Alameda Business Association’s mission is to promote and improve West Alameda through an active partnership of community and business. The WABA Board and its committees are made up of dedicated volunteers striving to achieve WABA’s mission. Members are invited to help West Alameda realize its full potential by becoming active participants in WABA committees.
The Economic Development Committee looks for growth opportunities within the area. It recruits new businesses and finds new uses for traditional buildings. Strengthening the existing business base is a key purpose of this committee.
The Design and Streetscape committee has done much to enhance the look of Webster Street and its environs. The Design Committee promotes design awareness and works with new and existing businesses to facilitate storefront improvements and to implement streetscape improvements.
The Promotions and Events Committee focuses on the marketing of Webster Street businesses and on public relations. This committee oversees community events such as: mixers, Concerts at the Cove, the popular Farmers’ Market and the Webster Street Jam.
Reaching out to membership and raising funds to support membership activities is the responsibility of the Organization and Membership Committee. This group also oversees volunteer coordination in support of the other committees.
Participating in one of the WABA committees is a wonderful way to meet other business owners, get involved and make a difference in the community. We invite you to contact the WABA offices at 523-5955, or at West_Alameda@yahoo.com.
