Dudley Heights association brings police, school and university partners to monthly meetings

Reverend Dr. Tijuana Hayes said the association invites a different community resource speaker each month, including the Greensboro community resource officer Megan Fitzgerald and representatives from the Guilford County School System such as Betty Jenkins. She also named council member Crystal Black and community organizer Max Sims as regular participants who work with student volunteers from North Carolina A&T on neighborhood projects.

Hayes said recurring agenda items include code enforcement (parking, boarded houses, overgrown yards) and updates from service providers so neighbors can act on issues. The format emphasizes introductions, resource presentations and community discussion to connect residents with available services.
