The Mission and Goals of the OTNA

• Foster an atmosphere of community spirit and neighborliness, and strive to preserve a positive atmosphere in the center of Torrance
Nurture a cooperative relationship between the residential and business sectors and support the migration of new businesses to Old Torrance
• Sponsor and stimulate neighborhood improvement projects
• Represent neighborhood and community interests to City and County Governments and other agencies or groups
• Participate and cooperate with other community-minded organizations' projects and activities
