CAG's programs and historic preservation make Georgetown safer, more beautiful, and more connected. CAG has a long history of protecting our neighborhood.
Becoming a member of CAG is a great way to get involved and show your support for the many ways your neighbors work to preserve and protect Georgetown and ensure you love where you live. What We Do:
Historic Preservation
CAG brings years of experience and technical skills to bear on the intricacies of historic preservation, regulations, and enforcement. CAG provides architectural oversight for r
esidential, commercial, recreational, and infrastructure projects. This important oversight allows the neighborhood of Georgetown to evolve and flourish by ensuring the integrity of its historical legacy and overall landscape for future generations. For over 100 years, CAG has fostered and supported our members and actively engaged them in our community and civic life here in Georgetown. Connectivity and action happen through the activity of our working committees, Board leadership, and dedicated support from all of our volunteer members. Since CAG is on the front lines of important civic, environmental, and community concerns, our response to issues greatly depends on membership participation and support. Safety and Beautification
CAG’s mission includes two vital initiatives: public safety and beautification. One of our top priorities remains improving the quality of life in Georgetown, lessening tensions, enhancing security within the community, and fostering relationships with partners including law enforcement agencies, in order to reduce and prevent criminal activity in our community. CAG also ensures the beautification of our residential streets by planting thousands of trees. Information and Education
CAG administers educational programming by hosting monthly meetings covering an array of timely topics and informs members and residents of news through multiple means, including the CAG Community Forum, Newsletter, newly launched website, and social media channels. Connection
CAG keeps the community connected through a shared sense of citizenship and inclusion. CAG plans events, programming, and is always welcoming new members to its dynamic network of volunteers and committee members.

The Citizens Association of Georgetown has, in one form or another, been representing the interests of Georgetown residents in local affairs for more than a century.
The organization traces its roots to 1878, when the Georgetown Citizens Association was established as the District of Columbia’s first civic group.
By the early 1920s, the group was successfully campaigning for the community’s first zoning rules to block an invasion of apartment buildings in what was then a community comprising mainly single-family homes.

Just a few more days until Georgetown University is back in session and we walk into the next season here in Georgetown.
One of the beautiful things about this place we call our home is the blend of ever-changing culture in the midst of historic preservation.
The balance of safeguarding the good while learning and growing with the new is one of our best qualities!
As the seasons change, new students + tourists make an impact our town, we count ourselves the lucky ones who get to call this place our home all year long.
We love seeing ALL of our Georgetown neighbors! Tag us in your family pet photos.. we'd love to repost them.
