The Cameron Station Civic Association represents its members in promoting the interests of Cameron Station to Alexandria residents, civic leaders and those in city government. The Cameron Station Civic Association and the Cameron Station Community Association (“HOA”) are two different groups. The civic association works on outside civic issues (including redevelopment, traffic and recreation) that affect the quality of life within and around our community. The Hoa's primary mission is managing and improving internal community services.

(7:40 – 7:50 pm)
We have two director openings and an opening for Secretary and we need your help now!
This and next year will be critical times for our community and we need a full slate of officers and directors. Here is just a very short list of critical matters to our community that we are dealing with that will have a large impact on our community:
- South Pickett Street Road Diet – The City staff has to date ignored our community and wants to remove a car lane in each direction of S. Pickett Street from Duke to Edsall which will almost certainly result in an increase in cut through traffic through Cameron Station.
- Bike Station in the Road - The City staff has to date ignored our community and wants to put a huge bike rack in the middle of the street (on Ben Brenman Drive near Somerville) rather than on the grass and near bike trails.
- Housing Master Plan 2040 – The City is launching a long term initiative to establish principles, goals, and strategies to address Alexandria’s housing needs through 2040 which could form the basis of changes to be made to future planning and zoning
Join us and help influence City decision makers and developers to ensure we have a prominent civic voice and sensible development projects that preserve our standard of living and property values. The primary responsibility of a director is to attend five Executive Committee meetings. Can’t you spare 3 - 5 hours a year to attend a few meetings and help our community?.
Becoming an officer or director of our civic association is a fun and easy way to make a difference in your community, a great way to increase local business contacts, and a tried and true way to launch a political career. Anyone 18 years old or older can be an officer or director so it’s also a great way to build your resume.
If you or anyone you know are looking for a rewarding way to spend some of your time, please step up to the plate and send an email to cameronstacivic@gmail.com noting your interest in becoming a director or officer.
Please don’t forget your annual dues of $10.00 payable to the Cameron Station Civic Association that are due January 1, 2024. To join the Civic Association or renew your annual dues, you can mail or hand deliver a check addressed to the Civic Association to the Cameron Club at 200 Cameron Station Blvd. Please include your name and address. Questions can be sent to cameronstacivic@gmail.com.
