Natomas Community Association

Welcome to the Natomas Community Association - Serving North & South Natomas

The NCA is a volunteer, non-profit group formed 25 years ago to improve the quality of life in North and South Natomas, and the unincorporated areas in the Natomas Basin of Sacramento County, and to communicate our needs to City and County decision makers.

Any person who resides, or is employed, in Natomas (north of the American River and west of Steelhead Creek), is automatically a member. The NCA's 16 directors are elected members who pledge to volunteer at least 3 hours a month, in addition to monthly Board meetings, to achieve NCA goals. Eight directors are elected at the annual meeting each January and hold office for two years.

Monthly Meetings & Town Halls

All residents are invited to attend monthly NCA board meetings on the fourth Wednesday to learn about community issues, share concerns, and explore means to resolve issues to the benefit of the entire community. The NCA frequently hosts "town halls" and "meet and greets." These are events which feature a community topic of interest, local elected officcials or others, and may include debates, presentations and question and answer sessions.

What We Do

We get involved in community activities like the Natomas Community Festival and the annual Chamber of Commerce Tree Lighting Celebration. At this year's festival, we sponsored a booth, set up displays of community maps & projects, took suggestions and held a fund raiser raffle for the NCA's education scholarship program for local high school students.
