Who We Are
The BNA is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization committed to ensuring that Beaverdale remains a vital community in which to live.
The BNA is led by an 11-member board, the members of which are elected for two-year terms. The Board meets monthly and works closely with several committees to accomplish the goals of the association.
We are residents just like you who love Beaverdale!
Our Why
Formed in June 1990, the BNA quickly became one of the largest neighborhood associations in Des Moines. The association celebrated its 35-year anniversary in 2025.
A primary goal of the BNA is to give all Beaverdale residents an active voice in the future of the neighborhood by working closely with the City of Des Moines, Polk County, Beaverdale businesses and organizations and neighbors to implement actions that cover the major issues facing the residential, commercial and public facets of the area.
Our vision
Beaverdale is a vibrant and welcoming neighborhood where residents enjoy a high quality of life and a strong sense of pride.
Our Mission
The Beaverdale Neighborhood Association encourages residents to become active participants in our neighborhood by providing opportunities to connect with neighbors, build community, and strengthen our shared sense of pride.
