The Little Italy Neighborhood Association (LINA) is dedicated to the preservation, protection, growth, and general well-being of the Little Italy community by collaborating with community members and others who share our objectives to celebrate urban Italian living through communal, cultural, educational, literary, and charitable endeavors and to effectively address and solve area problems.
The Little Italy Neighborhood Association is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization. We are neighbors and business owners working to create an even better community. Our volunteers spearhead many neighborhood projects and support those of our partner organizations.
We have an elected board and formal bylaws to govern our activities. The organization generally meets on the third Tuesday of each month at a different restaurant or business. To get the latest information, go to the bottom of this page and sign up to join our email list.
Members of LINA elect a leadership board every two years. Elected positions include president, vice president, and treasurer. The Board appoints additional people to lead efforts important to the community. All LINA positions are volunteer.
The President, Vice President, and Treasurer are elected to two-year terms. The current terms expire in January 2026.
