#Repost @empowerla ・・・ #CongressOfNeighborhoods is tomorrow, Saturday Sept 28th, at City Hall! The annual event brings over 1,000 Neighborhood Council leaders; elected officials; and staff from every City department together for a day of networking and education. . The day starts early: breakfast is at 7:45 am, and Opening Session – which features a talk from Mayor Eric Garcetti and our annual “all in” group photo – is at 8:30 am. So leave plenty of time to park; go through security; get your badge; and get some food and coffee to fuel up before beginning this long but invigorating day! . It takes about half an hour to get to the breakfast table, from the time you enter the garage, so please plan accordingly. . WHAT TO BRING: . 1) Parking pass: parking is free at City Hall East, if you print the NC Congress parking pass and place it on your dashboard. Download a parking pass at http://NCCongressLA.com/parking (no need to print in color.) Enter garage entrance at 201 N Los Angeles St. 90012, between Temple/First. Look for the Congress signs to enter garage; after you park, follow the signs to get into City Hall. . 2) Business cards: Bring your own cards, and make sure to ask others for theirs – with so many local leaders in one building, it’s a great place to network! . 3) Refillable water bottle: water will be provided at the event, courtesy of DWP. Does your NC make branded water bottles for swag? Bring a few to share with others! . 4) Paper/pen or laptop to take workshop notes . 5) Wear comfortable shoes: you’ll be doing a lot of walking and standing on marble floors, so comfortable footwear with a non-skid sole is ideal for Congress day . 2019 CONGRESS OF NEIGHBORHOODS Saturday, September 28th 7:45 am – 4:30 pm Los Angeles City Hall (enter building at 200 N Main St, 90012, just south of Temple) .

#Repost @empowerla Thank you for the shout out for the upcoming #NCCongressLA event on Saturday, September 28th where the new GM Raquel Beltrán will be speaking! @mayorofla @ericgarcetti @davideryu @lacityclerk @cityattorneyla @lacontroller @lwvlosangeles @pat_brown_institute #RaphaelSonenshein The event where the Mayor and the new GM will speak is open and free to the public. 🔗 is in bio! ・・・ The LA City Council voted unanimously to confirm Raquel Beltrán as our new General Manager! . Raquel - whom many of you Neighborhood Council members have already met at Civic U, as she’s the former Associate Director of Cal State LA’s Pat Brown Institute for Public Policy - was nominated for the GM role last month by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. . She has also worked with local elections and Neighborhood Councils in her prior role as Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Los Angeles. . Raquel told the City Council she is “excited, committed, and ready to serve” in her new role. Community organizing, she says, is the art of “helping people become aware of their own capability and potential,” and she looks forward to being able to help Neighborhood Councils achieve that for themselves — and for the City. . Also on hand to help celebrate: Raquel’s husband; her son; and her former colleague - Civic U Program Director and Executive Director of the Pat Brown Institute, Dr. Raphael Sonenshein. . Congratulations and welcome to Raquel! If you haven’t yet met her, she’ll be a headline speaker at opening session of this year’s Congress of Neighborhoods, Sept 28th at City Hall, so please join us there by RSVPing at: http://NCCongressLA.com
