Queen Village Neighbors Association: QVNA Committees

QVNA Committees

QVNA Committees consist of neighbors who want to make a difference in their neighborhood. Committee members volunteer their time and address a wide range of issues. Get involved and make a difference. There’s a committee for everyone! Or, if there’s an important community issue you’d like to address, take the lead and start a new QVNA committee by contacting QVNA.
