Greater Greater Washington is run by volunteers, many of whom started out reading and then became contributors. We’d like to invite you to become a contributor and help us tell interested people across the region about the information and discussions at forums and community meetings.

Forums by regional organizations like the Coalition for Smarter Growth bring interesting people together for thoughtful conversations about our communities. Community meetings reveal plans for important projects that affect the shape of our neighborhoods and provide insight into resident opinions.

We want to be sharing more of these meetings with readers. To do that, we are looking for contributors who are interested in going to the meetings and then writing up any interesting information or discussions.

If you’re interested in contributing, email info@ggwash.org. Greater Greater Washington reaches around 75,000 people each month and your words can greatly inform the public discourse. Plus, you can be a part of a great community. Please let us know what subjects you find most interesting, and if you have writing on blogs or elsewhere that we can see, include a link.

We’d like you to be willing to attend 2 panels or community meetings a month, and to be willing to write up at least a draft article that night or the next morning, so that we can tell people about them right away. We hope you have as much fun being a GGW contributor as all of us do!
