  • Join Our Governing Board! The governing board is an all-volunteer group of people who set the direction for and implement Common Boston's programming. Join us if you have ideas or interest in public events relating to the our architecture and built environment, and want to help in making them happen. We meet every other week on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM, with occasional field trips to Boston neighborhoods, design firms, and non-profit organizations. Please contact us about coming to our next meeting so that we can learn more about you and so you can learn more about us and what we do!

  • Be a Presenter/Host! If you would like to share your experience, built work, building, or neighborhood with the general public on Common Boston weekend, let us know! Contact us with your idea/proposal or place. Typical events in the past have included building tours, open houses, neighborhood tours, bike tours, and roundtable discussions, but we are ofcourse also open to new ideas and creative suggestions. For CB10, we are especially interested in finding events that relate to the theme of families in the city.  If you think you would like to host an event or suggest one.
