Business Relations  (Click here to go to the Business Relations Page)
WNA recognizes that businesses in the Wrightwood Neighborhood are valuable assets. The health of our business community reflects the viability of the neighborhood. For this reason WNA  created the Business Relations Committee and a board of director seat, to address the concerns of the businesses and allow business men and women to take part in the decision making process of WNA. Business issues such as zoning to sidewalk cafe's are review by the Business Relations committee and brought to the board of directors for approval.

Crime Prevention (Click here to go to the Crime Prevention Committee Page)
The safety of the community has come a long way since the days when gangs roamed our streets. Thanks in part to the efforts of the Wrightwood Neighbors Crime Committee, whose members worked with law enforcement agencies to rid our community of the dangers that persisted then. The Wrightwood Community today is plagued with a whole new set of crime problems, such as burglary to property, theft, auto break-ins, trouble-some taverns, etc. WNA has for many years addressed these issues and The Crime Prevention committee regularly meets with the 19th Police District Commander and has a seat on the District Area Council, which helps direct policing policy in our community.
