The Alliance exists for the benefit of active or participating neighborhood leaders in the City of Vancouver, and for the convenience of other elements of the community needing to interact with neighborhoods. The purpose of VNA is to advocate the interests and promote the well-being of its members: and to strengthen relationships among the members, the public sector, and the community. The Alliance is available to act as a liaison between the neighborhoods and the city on city wide issues. VNA welcomes all inter-actions with all city and county organizations. VNA is also available to help mentor established and newly formed neighborhood organizations.
