Join the Old Town Civic Association or Renew your membership for 2026 to 2027
Whether you are new to Alexandria, Virginia or have been in the community for years, we invite you to join us. The OTCA’s mission since our founding in 1951 has been to preserve the historic and residential character of Old Town, something we can only accomplish with the informed and active participation and support of resident members. OTCA is governed by Officers and a Board of Directors elected by the membership. The board and committees stay abreast of City issues that directly and indirectly affect Old Town and its neighbors, and communicate through our website, monthly Crier, and emails to keep members informed of up-coming events. Board members represent Old Town residents' interests before City Council, the Planning Commission, the Board of Architectural Review, the Board of Zoning Appeals, and other policy-making bodies. OTCA representatives also sit on City commissions, committees, and boards.

Our Priorities
The Old Town Civic Association seeks to influence on a wide variety topics including: historic preservation, infrastructure, traffic and parking, trees, open space, environmental improvements and maintenance, and other City policies affecting Old Town. We host City Council members, the Mayor, and our state and congressional representatives at our monthly meetings. We also seek to educate the membership through presentations by City officials and other professionals on development, land use issues, public spaces and related changes to Old Town.
The Old Town Civic Association needs your help! If preserving and advancing our quality of life is important to you, please contact us: Officers & Board.
