Dunwoody Homeowners Association pitches itself to younger generations

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The DHA has never really been just a homeowners association, and its leadership is focusing on a revamp to attract the next generation of community leaders.

Homeowners associations are often legally mandated organizations that enforce rules and collect fees to maintain shared neighborhood spaces, while civic associations are voluntary groups focused on community events and advocacy. 

President Tim Brown, who took over in February after Bob Fiscella’s four years at the helm, is leading a revamp. Brown said the Dunwoody Homeowners Association is more of a citywide civic association than a HOA.
