Message from the Outgoing President
|
|
Howdy Highland Park!
This is going to be my final opportunity to say hello and greet you on the HHPNC weekly email message. At last week’s board meeting, I officially stepped down as your neighborhood council President. The Los Angeles City Council recently moved to extend our current neighborhood council term by a year, and unfortunately, I am unable to serve for an additional year. I am sad to be saying goodbye to this very rewarding role, but also very happy to be re-entering the civilian world, and I look forward to focusing on stuff where I can contribute my skills and knowledge to my neighbors in positive, creative, and meaningful ways.
Anyway, that’s definitely enough about me. A handful of other board members also stepped down as part of an organized effort for a smooth transition, allowing board members to step away at this time if needed. And it went great! We now have 5 new Directors at Large, a new First Vice President, and we are narrowed down to 2 candidates for President, who will be selected at the next public board meeting.
You can visit our website to learn more about some of the new incoming board members. And, I’d like to thank the board members who are also stepping down at this time, for your awesome work and collaboration over the past several years:
Susanne Huerta
Daniel Andalon
Elizabeth Andalon
Liz Amsden
Diego Silva
Gabriel Chabran
We really have a great group of people serving on the board, and everyone made my experience the most, by bringing their passion and willingness to take action to the table. We have come a long way and accomplished a lot over the past few years, and naturally, there is still a lot more to learn, do, and improve in order to preserve and celebrate Highland Park as a great place for people of all walks of life to live, work and play. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to be of service. I look forward to seeing everyone out in the neighborhood, and seeing what kind of trouble I can get into next!
Adios for now!
Harvey Slater, Your former HHPNC President
