About NABB

NABB's purpose is to combat community deterioration, to preserve and protect the architectural beauty of the Back Bay, and to further Back Bay's residential character.

NABB is a non-profit, charitable organization with a current membership of approximately 2,000. A 50-member Board of Directors, and a 13-member Executive Committee govern NABB.

The bulk of NABB's work is performed by 15 standing committees, covering virtually every neighborhood issue from architectural preservation to zoning enforcement.

NABB's Friends and Neighbors activities join neighbors who share common interests. Currently there are over 20 active Friends and Neighbors groups.

About half of NABB's annual income is derived from membership dues, and mostof the remaining income is from special events and fundraising efforts held throughout the year.

The boundaries of the Back Bay, as defined by NABB's Articles of Organization, are:

  • Charles River on the North
  • Arlington Street to Park Square on the East
  • Columbus Avenue to the New York New Haven and Hartford right-of-way (South of Stuart Street and Copley Place), Huntington Avenue, Dalton Street, and the Mass. Turnpike on the South
