Committee Participation

Since GBCA's founding in 1927, residents have worked together to build and maintain our community.

Committees play a vital role in community life. Participation is voluntary, and all community members are encouraged to join. 

If you are interested in joining a committee, please attend a membership meeting or contact the GBCA secretary at secretary@goldensbridge.org

    Responsible for preserving and promoting the community's historical significance, working to connect our history as a cooperative community to our present and future. Ensure that the community's history, including its landmarks, documents, media, and significant events, is documented, maintained, and shared with current and future residents.

  • Legal & Sales Committee

    Responsibility to review all real estate and legal agreements to ensure the Association’s rights are respected and preserved. Specifically, assist in resolving disputes involving the Community, its members, or other entities in a manner consistent with the Community’s goals, and coordinate with the Association’s counsel in representing the Community in its litigation or dealings with public officials, agencies, or bodies.

    Manages the communications and approvals for the sale of community members' property as governed by the Constitution, By-Laws, and Restrictive Covenants, particularly around the ‘right of first refusal’. The Committee must receive notice that a member intends to sell their property at least one week before the property it listed for sale. The Secretary then notifies the membership of the sale so that community members are informed prior to the general public.

  • Road Committee

    Oversees the use and condition of the roads in the Colony. Should problems occur with the physical condition of the roads, maintenance, parking, enforcement of speed limits, or general traffic patterns, the Roads Committee may contact the Lewisboro Highway Superintendent and recommend action to the Board.

  • Road Four, our community newsletter

    Road 4 has been published quarterly since 1974 to celebrate life events, the community's creative work, and events, and to highlight activities of interest to our members. We encourage people to submit pictures and articles that are relevant to the Colony and align with our editorial policy.  We cannot guarantee that we will publish all submitted articles and letters, but we will act in good faith to publish anything that aligns with our mission. Road 4 will not publish articles that deal with current issues discussed on the executive board level - those articles should go directly to the board. It will also not publish personal attacks. Information pertaining to the current Colony business should be distributed through the Colony Secretary and not through Road 4. Please direct all letters about community-level policy to the board.

  • Social Committee

    Since the Colony's founding in 1927, regular social events have helped members stay connected and keep the community viable. The Social Committee plans and organizes the events that are the cultural and social backbone of our community

  • Town Committee

    Represents the Colony as a part of the Goldens Bridge Hamlet within the Town of Lewisboro. Committee members attend meetings of Lewisboro's Town Board, Planning Board, and Zoning Board of Appeals. The committee then reports back to the Colony Board about town events, as well as commercial & residential development plans, in Goldens Bridge and Lewisboro in general. The committee also communicates with the town board as needed.

  • Water Committee

    The Association owns and operates key infrastructure, including deep wells, a chlorination plant, and water distribution lines that serve the community.  The Water Committee is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and improvement of the community's water system.

  • Welcome Committee

    The Welcome Committee helps new residents feel oriented, informed, and connected when they move into the community. Its main job is to make a friendly first impression, share the basics of how GBCA works, and help new residents meet neighbors or learn about the community. The Committee keeps the GBCA Handbook up to date and provides a welcome packet with the Handbook and the GBCA Bylaws & Constitution to all new members.
