About Us... Leadership

The Newton Villages Alliance is a rapidly growing community preservation organization with participants from every part of Newton and all of Newton’s 13 villages.  The Alliance is led by a steering committee of 30 members.  The steering committee elects directors who represent the Newton Villages Alliance.
