NOLA works to help its members make a positive change in the community. If you work, live, own property or a business in NOLA, you are a member of the association. If you want a say in what affects your community, contact the NOLA chair or attend a neighborhood meeting to find out more. While NOLA is recognized by and receives staff support from the City, it is self-directed. The officers of the Board are elected by the membership. Join your neighbors and help build a better community for everyone! The neighborhood is home to several schools (including Chemeketa Community College), parks, shopping malls and eateries.
