Our board meeting on August 13, 2026, featured an informative Candidates Forum with the candidates in contested seats. A recording of the Forum is linked above. We thank all the candidates for participating! Please note that three former candidates are no longer running (as a result, the seats in Areas One and Five are uncontested). The candidates are now:
Area One: Bart Young
Area Two: Kambiz Kamdar, Diane Bleak
Area Three: Julia Nilsen Lombari, Elissa Ashwood
Area Four: Karen Ridgley, Rebecca Lobl, Eliana Bernstein
Area Five: May Sung

Area Seven: Sharon Kilbride
Area Eight: Andrew Wolfberg

Voting in the election will take place from August 21 – September 4 via electronic ballot on the PPCC website (look for the VOTE button to be posted here on 8/21). For more information about the election & voting process, click on the Voting & Election Information and 2026 Election FAQ notices linked above.
We encourage everyone to take the PPCC-NORC follow-up community survey (see letter linked above), and to review the draft proposed Two-Year Strategic Plan for PPCC (also linked above).
The election results will be announced at the next PPCC meeting on September 10, 2026. Also on that agenda: a Fire Safe Palisades grant recommendation and presentation; board consideration of the Strategic Plan proposed by the Executive Committee; and a possible presentation on a proposed concrete “batch plant” for the Palisades.
Palisades Strong!
Allison Holdorff Polhill
President (2026-2027)
