About

Our Aberdeen is a 501c4 Corporation which supports projects that enhance our community. The Board of Directors funds and oversees the Project Coordinating Committee.

The Project Coordinating Committee supports the goal of Our Aberdeen, embracing projects which show pride in Aberdeen, Washington. Membership is made up of project directors, chairs and members of committees and volunteers. The purpose of meeting together publicly and regularly is to report progress, answer questions, consider public input, hear and consider proposals for new projects, and promote participation.

We meet the third Thursday of each month, May through September, and every other month November through March. If you have a project you are interested in proposing, reach out to us via the Contact Form.
