Since its founding in 1973, the Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) has served as the voice of our community. As an all-volunteer 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, PPCC provides a vital forum for discussing local issues and advocates to government and private agencies on matters where the community has reached broad consensus.

With over 50 years of continuous service—celebrated in 2023—PPCC stands as one of the oldest volunteer civic organizations in Los Angeles. Our pioneering structure served as a model for the city’s current Neighborhood Council system, demonstrating the power of grassroots community engagement.

Our Governance

PPCC’s Board represents the diverse voices of Pacific Palisades through elected Area Representatives from each residential neighborhood, an elected At-Large Representative, and representatives appointed by key community organizations. Learn more about our inclusive structure on our Board Composition. page.

Meetings & Engagement

The PPCC Board convenes twice monthly in open public meetings (reducing to once monthly in July, August, November, and December) to address a wide range of community concerns. Find upcoming meeting dates on our Calendar page, with agendas posted regularly on both the home page and Upcoming Meeting Agendas  page. We invite you to explore this website to discover PPCC’s ongoing work, active Committees and the critical issues we address.

Recognizing Community Excellence

Each year, PPCC honors outstanding community service through our Citizen of the Year and Golden Sparkplug Awards, along with occasional Pride of the Palisades distinctions. These awards recognize dedicated volunteers at our annual December holiday gala. Visit our Awards Guidelines & Honoree Archive for more information about past recipients and nomination criteria.
