Community Board 8 Chair Nick Viest
There are several community organizations within the Upper East Side ranging from child activities to senior center groups. Some other groups are American Irish Historical Society, Carnegie Hills Neighbors, Central Park Conservancy, Madison Avenue BID, NY Woman’s Foundation, and more. There is also the community board, which has 8 members and is known as CB8. This Community Board is quite active and has even decided to give small businesses a boost. CB8 Chair Nick Viest said at a recent meeting, “The board is launching a new forum aimed at helping startups and enterprises of all types and sizes navigate red tape and access assistance programs available to them (Bekiempis).” The Upper East Side has a very active community with several different organizations that residents can participate in.
