Who We Are

The QACC traces its roots to the neighborhood’s early 20th-century civic associations, continuing a long tradition of neighbors working together to improve Queen Anne.

Today, the QACC continues to proudly serve as a go-to resource, elevating concerns, identifying priorities and working with residents, civic partners, and government leaders to strengthen and sustain our community.

The QACC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that provides oversight and stewardship (short bios below). What drives the organization, however, is the broader community of neighbors who lend their time, ideas, and expertise. Some engage around a single issue, while others contribute to broader initiatives that enhance the neighborhood.
