The Lordship Improvement Association
Preserving our beautiful waterfront community for you ...
The Lordship Improvement Association Inc. (LIA) is an all volunteer, non-profit private foundation under Connecticut State Law whose mission is to enhance and preserve the distinctive character and natural beauty of the Lordship waterfront community - for all of us who live here.
It is guided by a Board of Governors (six members, each elected to a three-year term) and committees that accomplish the LIA's many projects - aided by volunteers from the general membership and Lordship community. See BYLAWS / OUR MISSION

The Board also ensures the LIA's financial health, and its many additional tasks include grant-seeking and fundraising projects, and partnering with other organizations on projects.
