The Nedonna Beach Neighborhood Association was started in September 2007 by Nedonna Beach homeowners Terry Bowman, Jack Ferris, Bill Gemmet, and Merl Hilsenteger.
Projects taken on by the NBNA focus on communication, safety, and stewardship. The Association is not a regulatory group and will hold a neutral position on matters of political nature. The NBNA is run by a volunteer board of Nedonna Beach homeowners.
The Leadership of the NBNA includes the following:

I have been coming to Nedonna Beach for the last 30 years. I love the area and the quiet beaches. I enjoy helping people and want to help make Nedonna Beach a great place for alI to enjoy. I enjoy walking on the beach looking for seashells and spending time with the family and friends. The grandchildren are also developing a love of the beach and for Grandma’s beach house.

Having been born and raised on the Oregon Coast, Nedonna Beach sorta feels like home. Many of my Nedonna neighbors are like an extended family. My wife, children, and grandchildren all enjoy exploring this special area. My favorite activities are spending time helping folks and supporting the important things in my life. It’s important to me that this neighborhood be as good as it can be, and maybe even a little better each year. Look for me riding bikes with grandkids, pulling Scotch Broom, or just sitting on a beach log with my wife, enjoying a ‘whisky sunset’.
