In 2023, the ViNA Board of Directors plan to give all neighbors a voice by focusing on initiatives that build community connection, build safety, and include youth. Our 2023 Initiatives will include our Livability Committee & Block Ambassador Program, Equitable Engagement, Victory Community Garden, Anti-Racism Initiatives, Events to Connect Neighbors, and our transition to a Volunteer-Run Organization.
