About Us

WHO WE ARE

The Mueller Neighborhood Association (MNA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan grassroots organization that builds community through community events, activities, advocacy and outreach. MNA is separate from the Mueller Property Owners Association (POA), which manages and maintains Mueller properties.

A clear community vision emerged in 1984 for converting the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport into a compact pedestrian-oriented mixed-use community, with six guiding principles: fiscal responsibility, economic development, East Austin revitalization, compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods, diversity and affordability, and sustainability.

2025 MNA Steering Committee

Every year MNA members elect a volunteer Steering Committee to manage operations, activities, events and fundraising. The committee seeks input from community leaders and MNA members, sets goals and priorities, and ensures all activities align with MNA’s mission and vision. Committee members also represent MNA to other entities such as the Mueller POA, nearby neighborhood associations, and city and county elected officials, departments and services.

MNA Statement of Diversity and Inclusion

The Mueller Neighborhood Association (MNA) strives for diversity and inclusion for all members of our community — residents and visitors alike. We will foster a community that respects the unique attributes and perspectives that make each of us who we are. MNA is committed to building and maintaining an intentionally welcoming, affirming and safe neighborhood for everyone — especially those who have previously been denied opportunities to fully participate in our community — including people of any age, ethnicity, education level, gender, gender identity, homeownership status, immigration status, language, nationality, parental status, physical, mental and developmental abilities, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, shape or size, skin color and socioeconomic status. By valuing our diversity and developing a purposefully inclusive environment, Mueller can achieve a higher level of connectedness while preserving the best that each of us has to offer.
