Brennan Elected to BHA

Donald Brennan was elected to the Brooklyn Heights Association’s Board of Governors at the association’s annual meeting held February 28. Brennan, principal of MyHome, Brooklyn and Brennan Realty Services, is a 17-year resident of Brooklyn Heights.

“I’m a strong supporter of community preservation and am always impressed by the work of the BHA. I’m honored to be a part of this important organization and look forward to working diligently to support its mission,” commented Brennan. The BHA Board is made up of local residents with a record of strong commitment to the community. Brennan currently volunteers as Vice Chairman of the Board of the Dodge YMCA and Chairman of its Strong Kids Campaign.

The Brooklyn Heights Association celebrated its centennial in 2010, and was instrumental in the 1965 formation of Brooklyn Heights as New York City’s first historic district.
