We build and support New Orleans’ civic leaders.

Who we are

Committee for a Better New Orleans (CBNO) is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to equip New Orleans community leaders with the knowledge, networks, and skills they need to build thriving communities. We work inside and outside City Hall to foster civic engagement and advocate for effective, equitable, and transparent City institutions.

Our programs bring people and government together to understand, discuss, and solve New Orleans’ problems. Our work is rooted in equity — we’re building the long-term systemic changes our City needs to thrive.
