Most of our readers are familiar with our city’s Neighborhood Council system – the grass roots organizations that help connect residents with city planning and other processes. But for those who would like to take the next step to even deeper involvement with our city government, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment will be holding a “Beyond Neighborhood Councils – How to Run for Higher Office, Get Appointed to a City Commission, or Find a Job with the City” workshop on August 23.  Featured speakers include Los Angeles City Controller Ron Galperin, Board of Public Works Commissioner Joel Jacinto, and Personnel Department representatives.
The event is free and open to everyone who may be interested.  Just RSVP at http://empowerla.nationbuilder.com/beyondneighborhoodcouncils08232016 …and get ready to embark on what could turn out to be a brand new career!
