Do you live in an HOA? Do you live in the Historic District? Do you want to know how to become more involved in your neighborhood? Do you own a small business in either?

Come to this discussion on the most hyper-local level of government where you can have a seat directly at the table to make your voice heard. The decisions you can feel most are those closest to you, and you should have a say.

HOAs and Historic District boards are where local decisions actually happen. They determine what gets built, what gets preserved, and how shared spaces and neighborhood character evolve over time. Unlike distant government institutions, these are bodies made up of residents, operating through processes that are open to participation and direct involvement.

Homeowners Associations (HOAs) are private, member-driven boards that manage shared spaces and uphold agreed-upon community standards. Historic District boards, by contrast, operate through a public process to preserve places deemed to serve a broader community interest. Despite their differences, both rely on rules, review processes, and citizen participation, and both function as some of the most local, accessible forms of governance.

This event is not a lecture. It is a guided, discussion-based conversation designed to bring community members into dialogue with one another with an expert in the field providing guidance. Together, we will explore how these systems work, how they affect daily life, and how residents can step into a more active role in shaping their communities.

Whether you have direct experience with an HOA or Historic District, or are simply curious about how decisions get made at the neighborhood level, this conversation is an opportunity to engage, ask questions, and better understand where your voice fits.
