“We have a balanced board of legacy members, many of whom have been stewards of the DCA for decades, and new board members who are ready to drive the DCA’s mission,” said Erin Noonan, executive director of the Darien Community Association. “Together, we create opportunities to connect and learn as a community, to enjoy green spaces such as the Bird Sanctuary and Nature Trail, and to support sustainability through the DCA Thrift Shop.”
The DCA would like to thank every current and former board member and every volunteer for supporting the DCA’s mission to bring its neighbors and friends together through our shared values of learning, green spaces, sustainability and community.
