Board of Directors

The Friendship Heights Alliance is led by a Board of Directors that includes leaders from property owners from both Maryland and Washington, D.C., encompassing a comprehensive view of the Friendship Heights neighborhood.

As the organization evolves, more stakeholders will be added and an Advisory Committee will be formed comprised of cultural groups, residents, and other stakeholders to play a significant role in the organization’s priorities and programs.
