Join TRCA leadership

The TRCA has 11 Executive Committee members and 5 Officers to advocate for our neighborhood. The role of the Committee is to remain up to date on issues and provide feedback to city officials and decision makers. This feedback ensures that decisions do not negatively impact our quality of life and safety.

In 2023, the City of Alexandria advanced plans to alter Duke Street access significantly for the Taylor Run area. Fortunately, TRCA spoke out about choices would negatively impact how we access our homes. As a result the City adjusted its preliminary plans to continue Duke Street access for the neighborhood.

The City of Alexandria continues to have many meetings on topics that directly affect neighborhood quality: road diets, road expansions, stormwater and sewage line replacements, and new recreational facilities such as the Old Town Pool. With community help we can, as a group, act as needed on these City proposals.

By agreement with the City, TRCA is also responsible for maintenance of four parks--Forrest, Chinquapin, Angel, and Upland--in return for an annual contribution from the City. This annual payment allows TRCA to make our organization free to eligible residents and to fund activities. Thank you to the many volunteers who pick up trash weekly in these four parks.

The 11 Executive Committee members are tasked with attending TRCA meetings monthly or as needed either in person or via video call. It would take about 10-12 hours of your time each year to help your community. In particular, executive committee members can help TRCA track the many city events to determine any significant local impact.

The 5 Officer positions take more time, especially President and Vice President. These are the direct liaisons to the city to make sure our neighborhood has a seat at the table when decisions are made. Having these positions filled is vital to keeping TRCA an active force in making sure our neighborhood is properly represented. The Officer team also maintains the many communications to the Taylor Run Community, through Facebook, email, and the TRCA website. Officers also lead in organizing our community events.
