In 2020, Residents may join at no cost, but must still complete a registration form. Business members pay a yearly due of $30 and must also complete a registration form. CNCA meets bi-monthly, the third Tuesday of the month, usually at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church.

–Principle of one person-one vote applies to all.
–Resident membership–those who reside within the geographic boundaries of Charles North as presented in the bylaws which can be found on the Charles North Community Association website at charlesnorth.org. A resident mailing address is required.
–Business membership–may be the owner of a property or of a business located within the geographic boundaries of Charles North as presented in the bylaws which can be found on the Charles North Community Association website at charlesnorth.org. While one person may own more than one business, still one person–one vote. While one person may own more than one property, still one person–one vote. While a business or a property may have more than one owner, still one person–one vote to represent that business or property. In no case may one person have more than one vote in CNCA. And in no case can one business or property have more than one vote in CNCA. However, a property and a business are not necessarily the same. Therefore, a property may contain several businesses and each of those businesses may have separate membership. But still, one business–one vote, to represent each business in a property.
In 2008, the Charles North Vision Plan was finalized and formally endorsed by Mayor Sheila Dixon, identifying a 30 year timetable to transform Charles North into “a regional crossroads of culture.”
Today, the Charles North neighborhood is at the center of a resurgent city and is a gateway for millions of people who enter Baltimore via Penn Station or the Jones Falls Expressway. The area is recognized as a hub for artists thanks to its proximity to Maryland Institute College of Arts, as well as a growing community of entrepreneurial businesses that imbue the neighborhood with its professional charm.
