About the Fort Worth League of Neighborhood Associations

The League was founded in 1985 by about 12 neighborhood groups led by founding members:  Chris Getz, Dr. Glen Kroh, Mary Palko and Ben Ann Tomayko.  The purpose was to form an organization to create a strong and loud voice at city hall.  They felt it was important for the neighborhoods to be involved in the decision-making process especially when it involved the neighborhoods.  Today, we still promote that same philosophy.  The League is an umbrella organization representing neighborhoods on all levels:  City, county and state. It is comprised of member neighborhood organization groups such as Neighborhood Associations (NA), Home Owners' Associations (HOA), Property Owners' Associations (POA) and  Neighborhood Alliances.

 “Never Believe that a few caring people can’t change the world.  For, indeed, that is all who ever have.”
