We are working to maintain and improve the quality of life,
sense of community and beauty of our neighborhood. No matter what your interest
or available time, we have a place for you! Committees are described below and
typically meet once per month. It is a great way to meet your neighbors! No
prior experience is needed.
Executive Committee: The Executive Committee meets once per
month. This is the governing body of the Allandale Neighborhood Association and

protest changes in zoning or land development and are working to increase code
enforcement by City of Austin officials. Chair: Paulette Kern
