About Us... Speakers Series Videos
The Newton Villages Alliance is pleased to present videos of  "Setting Our Course in Newton",  the Spring 2016 NVA  speakers series featuring expert guests covering a range of topics of interest to those concerned about community, historic  and open space preservation.     The videos air on New TV and are also available below.   

Speakers Series Gets Great Start on March 6th With 40B Forum
The Windsor Club in Waban was filled on Sunday, March 6, for "Answering Chapter 40B: The Challenge of Housing Affordability & Neighborhood Context in Newton", an NVA-sponsored forum on Chapter 40B and housing affordability.  Attorneys and 40B experts Professor Jonathan Witten (right in  image below) and Dennis Murphy (center), and moderator Julia Malakie, (left) impressed the crowd with their complete command of the subject, and their ability to make a very complex subject understandable. Links and information are here.
