Message from the President:
Awards Nominations Notice
Submission deadline: October 26, 2024, 8 pm
The annual PPCC Awards nomination process has begun! The community is encouraged to submit nominations for the Citizen of the Year and Golden Sparkplug honors. See the Awards Nominations Notice linked above. Deadline to submit nominations: October 26, 2024, 8 pm. The process culminates with the Awards Gala dinner event to take place on December 12, 2024 — more details to come. Members of the Awards Selection and Event Committees are listed on the PPCC Committees page.
PPCC’s first regular Board meeting of the new term was held on October 10, 2024, in hybrid format via Zoom and in-person at the Ronald Reagan American Legion Palisades Post 283. We thank the Legion for graciously hosting our meeting! We look forward to meeting again in-person at the Legion’s hall for one of our Board meetings this Spring (TBA).
We welcomed all the new elected and organizational representatives at the October 10th meeting. Names and contact information for all PPCC representatives can be found by clicking on the Leadership tab above. The Three Chairs Committee also presented the nominees for Alternate Area & At-large rep positions, who were then elected by the Board. The new 1st and 2nd Alternates for the 2024-26 term are:
At large: Michael Edlen / Warren Jacob
In addition, the Board passed two motions, one supporting a motion in City Council calling for a report from LADBS on solutions to the problem of long-abandoned or unfinished construction projects; and the other calling for federal, state, county and city investigations into the use or misuse of taxpayer funds for homelessness. See PPCC position letters here (unfinished construction), here (homelessness investigations) and here (Little Hoover Commission).
Our next board meeting, on October 24, 2024, will be held via Zoom and will feature important presentations from experts on Neighborhood Watch and crime prevention. We encourage all interested residents to attend and learn about this valuable information.
We hope you will attend our meetings, participate in PPCC and follow our work in the weeks and months ahead. Your voice, perspective and engagement informs our direction and makes our advocacy stronger.
Warm regards,
Sue Kohl
President
