MidBeach Neighborhood Alliance Continues to Evolve as a Platform for Miami Beach Residents

Online, May 26, 2012 (Newswire.com) - HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - Formerly known as the MidBeach Homeowners Alliance (MBHA), the MidBeach Neighborhood Alliance's (MBNA) intent is to mobilize the community and continue to serve as a platform for Miami Beach homeowners and businesses. All residents and business owners in the MidBeach area are invited to attend the MBNA meeting on Tuesday, June 5th at 6:30 p.m. The Alexander, located at 5225 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, Florida, will host the event.

"The representation from condominiums along MidBeach has been strong," said Jerry Libbin, Vice Mayor of Miami Beach and President and CEO of the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce. "But we are continuously looking to expand participation in order to ensure that the collective voice of MidBeach is heard."

A result of the past two gatherings of the MBNA has been the creation of an Ad Hoc Committee to formalize and define the key components of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the organization.

During the June 5th meeting, the MBNA founding members will continue to discuss the mission, goals and constitution of the organization intended to represent the interests of homeowners in the MidBeach District of Miami Beach, which spans from 23rd Street to 63rd Street.

The MBNA was formed by community leaders who sought a vehicle to enable MidBeach residents to collaborate and communicate common interests effectively and mobilize public support on important issues.

Topics of discussions will include: Crime prevention, traffic safety, neighborhood beautification, municipal planning and zoning changes, as well as the need for more effective and consistent communications with elected leaders, government officials and the business community.

Founding partners of the MBNA include: The Continental Group, 5600 Condominium, Blue Diamond, Canyon Ranch Residence, The Caribbean, Carriage House, The Executive Condominium, Green Diamond, Imperial House, Maison Grande, Mosaic, Regency Tower, Seacoast 5151 and Seacoast 5700.

Additionally, founding members of the new MBNA include: Miami Beach Commissioner and Vice Mayor Jerry Libbin, Matthew Abramowitz, Alejandro & Kate Arce, Avra Bank, David Basch, Matteo Bianchi, Kevin Brill, Alicia Casanova, David & Carol Cohen, Justin Fuhrman, Michael Girotto, Muhammad Hasan, Nancy Ladd, Roger Leifer, Simon Nemni, Chana Perl, James Richmond, Laverne Rodriguez, Miriam Ruiz, Kim Selmore and Gustavo Verite.

The MBNA strongly encourages MidBeach residents to attend and encourage those in neighboring communities to participate. The success of the MBNA is heavily dependent on resident involvement and community support.

The Continental Group (TCG), a FirstService Residential Management company, is one of the founding partners and is proud to be spearheading the recently formed MidBeach Neighborhood Alliance (MBNA).
