Candidate for City Council,Rolling Hills Estates

--Rolling Hills Estates Planning Commissioner

Occupation: Executive Director/H.E.L.P. (Healthcare and Elder Law Programs)- a South Bay non-profit that provides educational programs and free counseling and assistance to seniors and their families as they confront eldercare issues.

My priorities:
1.Preserve and enhance the unique nature of our equestrian community

2.Work to support our business district in the Peninsula Center & Promenade

3. Promote transparency and communication in our local government

I believe that service on the City Council is a privilege that should be earned by demonstrating competence and trustworthiness in progressively more responsible positions held in the community. My years of training, and service to our city and the greater Palos Verdes community include:
1. RHE Planning Commissioner, 4 years; Chair 2012.
2. RHE Environmental Advisory Committee, 2 years.
3. Homeowners Association Board, 5 years; neighborhood
watch committee/ block captain, 12 years.
4. K-12 PTA service, including PTA Vice President- Miraleste Middle School; PTA President - Palos Verdes High School; and President of our 16-school peninsula-wide Palos Verdes Council of PTAs.
-- received PTA Honorary Services Awards from Miraleste and PV High, and the highest California State PTA recognition, the Golden Oak Service Award, from the PV PTA Council.
5. Served on the Measure P Bond Campaign Committee;
raising funds to keep our schools strong.
6. Board of Trustees, Peninsula Education Foundation,
4 years; co-chaired Main Event.
7. Member, Palos Verdes Chamber of Commerce. Serve on
Chamber Legislative Committee.

Education: Ph.D /George Washington University, Washington,
D.C.,government management/political science.

Graduate Certificate/The American University, Washington,
D.C.,political journalism and public relations.

B.A./UCLA, political science/public administration.

My professional experience includes: Legislative Aide, U.S. Congress, Washington, D.C. Foreign Service Officer, U.S. Dept. of State. Small Business Specialist, U.S. Dept. of Commerce. Deputy Director,Regional Office, U.S.Dept.of Commerce. Regional Manager, U.S. Dept.of Energy. non-profit and government management consultant. adjunct professor, political science faculties at USC,
Westmont and Marymount colleges.

I am presently the Executive Director of H.E.L.P., a South Bay non-profit that provides eldercare services to seniors and their families. Through this experience I have become aware of the number of longtime residents of our city who are now elderly and live in their homes in relative isolation. I am committed to working with our homeowners associations, neighborhood watch network, and PV Seniors to coordinate better support of our senior citizens, as well as improving communication within our neighborhoods.

I hope the experience I can contribute through my education and training in public administration, and my years of government management experience and consulting, as well as my more recent involvement in eldercare issues, will be of benefit to our city.
