About Us
WHO WE ARE
The Mueller Neighborhood Association (MNA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan grassroots organization that builds community through education, conversation, meetings and neighborhood events. MNA is separate from the Mueller Property Owners Association (POA), which manages and maintains Mueller properties.
2024 MNA Steering Committee
MNA members elect a 13-member volunteer Steering Committee to manage MNA’s operations, activities, events and fundraising. The committee sets goals and priorities and ensures all activities align with MNA’s mission and vision.
By providing strategic guidance and ensuring effective use of financial resources, the Steering Committee plays an essential role in fostering a vibrant, inclusive and well-organized neighborhood. 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.
Committee members serve two-year staggered terms, with a limit of two consecutive terms. After one year off the committee they may be re-elected. The committee also seeks input from neighborhood leaders and MNA volunteers to accomplish MNA’s goals and projects.

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.
MNA Standing Committees
The Steering Committee has 10 standing committees and may appoint special committees as needed for specific topics. The Steering Committee may appoint other MNA members to committees. MNA’s bylaws specify each committee’s membership and duties.
