About the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CNA)

CNA is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to neighborhood-oriented issues in Berkeley, California. Over the past 30+ years the services provided by CNA its newsletter, forums, community meetings and proactive dialogue with public and private entities on issues affecting Berkeley neighborhoods have made a difference and at times served as a catalyst for innovative changes and improved services from our city government. Without the CNA many significant City matters would go unnoticed.

We're hopeful that you'll find our services of benefit to yourself individually and to our community as a whole. Through CNA a Berkeley resident can make a direct, personal contribution to the improvement of our community. If we are to have government of the people, by the people and for the people we must have the continued participation of both BANA and CNA as beacons to our fellow Berkeleyans to let them know what is happening before it lands on them.

Please join us at a forum, BANA meeting (an independent citywide neighborhood organization) or by submitting an article to the newsletter. Together we can make a difference. Making local government effective and responsible is everybody's responsibility.
