Press Release regarding NORC Report on the PPCC-NORC Community Survey
Message from the President:
As we end the horrific year in which all our lives were changed, we enter 2026 with hope for recovery and a bright future for our beloved Palisades. See our end-of-the-year message to the community, reflecting on 2025, Here.
We are pleased to issue a Press Release on January 6th announcing the new NORC Report on the results of the PPCC-NORC Community Survey (see documents linked above).
Meanwhile, we and other community members participated in the special Remembrance Ceremony, sponsored by the American Legion and Pali LTRG, on January 7th, honoring the 12 individuals who tragically lost their lives in the fire and commemorating the one-year anniversary (see the link above for more information). We thank them for providing this moving and beautiful Ceremony on the one-year anniversary of the fire!
We held our first meeting of the New Year on January 8th. The meeting was well-attended and featured well-received remarks by Councilwoman Traci Park and an informative presentation by representatives of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles/HabitatLA. See a recording of the presentations Here (CW Park’s remarks begin the recording; the HabitatLA presentation starts at approximately 1:38 on the recording). We also had numerous updates and announcements from the President, from Board members, from Government representatives and from PPCC Committees.
Looking ahead: We have invited LAFD Chief Jaime Moore to our next Board meeting on January 22, 2026, and are hopeful he’ll be able to attend.
We also eagerly await the expected positive and joyful community Renewal Celebration, to take place this spring on March 22nd — sponsored by PPCC and other participating Palisades organizations. Plans are now in the works — stay tuned for more details to come!
And don’t forget the deadlines to submit applications for the vacant 2nd Alternate seats for PPCC Areas Two, Eight and Six — see notices linked above for more details. Areas Two & Eight: deadline February 7, 2026; Area Six: deadline February 9, 2026.
Looking back: The PPCC annual Awards Gala, celebrating our 2025 Honorees, was a great success. Thank you to all who participated. See the Gala recap Here and Gallery Here. See more about the Honorees’ accomplishments Here.
See you at the PPCC meetings in 2026!
Next regular Board Meeting: January 22, 2026; Guest Speaker (invited): LAFD Chief Jaime Moore.
