The strength of the CCNA lies in the collective efforts of our neighborhood leaders, who concentrate on issues that preserve and enhance our city’s neighborhoods, both individually and community wide.
Delegates can be more effective when they maintain communication with their neighborhood’s Officers, Board of Directors, resident members, and other individuals who live, work, or own property in the area.
Delegate Responsibilities:
- Attending Monthly CCNA Meetings and sharing update on issues or matters of concern, upcoming events and other neighborhood news.

Issues:
Issues arise from time to time. Recent by-laws changes established an Issues Committee, a subset of the Board and the Membership, chaired by First Vice President, Jim Ludwig. The committee is working on policy and procedures for Delegates to identify and elevate your neighborhood issues to the CCNA Board of Directors. When available they will be published here.
