Established in 1941,
and in continuous operation ever since

Piedmont Pines wins praise from civic leaders as being one of Oakland's most organized and productive voluntary neighborhood associations. 

When we speak, we're listened to.

Why?  Decision makers know our residents care and stay engaged. We pitch in on beautification projects, keep one another informed, protect against crime, gain emergency preparedness skills, and the list goes on.  And we vote.

The pandemic changed how

PPNA does business

In the days of old, PPNA would host an annual community meeting in late January at Chabot Space and Science Center.  With the pandemic, we switched our format to Zoom webinar. By the time lock-downs ended and virus spread was better controlled, we contemplated a return to in-person meetings.  The advantages of having virtual business meetings are significant:

  • Favored by members with small children

  • Saves $2,000 in rental and other facility costs

  • Favored by our speakers

  • Saves hours and hours of PPNA staff and volunteer time setting up expo, wine and food stations, registration table

  • Can be taped for post-event viewing

In 2021, PPNA's Board settled on a hybrid solution that increases the number of gatherings, allows deeper dive into more subjects, and still allows personal gathering. 

Here's how the plan played out in 2024:

  • 1Q2024:  Webinar exploring core city services. Speakers included our new City Administrator and Councilmember 

  • 2Q2024:  Webinar exploring fire prevention, vegetation inspections, evacuation plans

  • 3Q2024:  Family Fun Day with a picnic at Lake Temescal

  • 4Q2024:  In person and televised forums on 2024 candidates and issues.  Produced by Oakland League of Women Voters
