The Virginia-Highland Civic Association (VHCA) will be holding annual elections in September to elect our 2026-2027 Directors. As required by the Georgia Nonprofit Corporation Code, all residents who wish to vote need to “OPT-IN” as a member to vote and participate. Your free VHCA membership is perpetual as long as you live in the neighborhood (so, if you opted-in in a previous year, you are all set).
If you no longer live in the neighborhood, please email us requesting your membership removal .
