Mt. Washington Improvement Association: Membership

The Mt. Washington Improvement Association (MWIA) is an all-volunteer organization that has been working to benefit our neighborhood since 1885. In addition to sponsoring and funding community events and opportunities, the MWIA works with officials at the city, state, and federal levels on issues ranging from the impact of development pressure, transportation, public safety, parks, schools, and zoning.

Current MWIA dues for calendar year 2012 are:

First time members	$19
Renewing members	$40
Sponsoring members	$100

If $19 or $40 is beyond your budget please consider joining at whatever level you’re comfortable with. Your investment supports literally thousands of volunteer hours toward neighborhood causes every year. A stable, safe, and thriving neighborhood benefits all of us. Your support is vitally important to continue the work of the MWIA toward the preservation, betterment, development, and well-being of our community.
