The MidBeach Neighborhood Association (MBNA) was established in 2017 as a nonprofit grassroots community organization serving the east MidBeach multi-unit community. Building on the foundation of the MidBeach Neighborhood Alliance (2012–2015), MBNA provides a unified voice for residents, condominiums, hotels, and businesses while advocating for initiatives that enhance the quality of life in east MidBeach.
How MBNA Works MBNA is led by an elected Executive Board that oversees the organization's operations and strategic priorities. Board members chair working groups focused on key issues affecting East MidBeach, while residents, condominium representatives, hotel representatives, and businesses are encouraged to participate in any working group. Together, these efforts support MBNA's mission of improving the quality of life in the MidBeach community.
MBNA Leadership MBNA is led by a volunteer Executive Board elected by its condominium and hotel members. Board members oversee the organization's operations, chair working groups focused on key neighborhood issues, and collaborate with residents, businesses, and public officials to advance initiatives that enhance the East MidBeach community. Several board members also serve on City of Miami Beach advisory boards and committees, helping ensure MidBeach has a strong voice in local decision-making. The current Executive Board serves through April 2027, when MBNA will hold its next Board of Directors election during the Annual Membership Meeting. All condominium and hotel members in good standing are eligible to nominate themselves to serve on the Executive Board. Each term is for two years, with a maximum amount of five terms. 2025–2027 Executive Board
