Get Involved
A Neighborhood Council's purpose is to promote
Stakeholder participation in local issues affecting their community,
and to make government more responsive to local needs. To achieve
this goal, the voters passed Charter reforms in 1999, creating
the Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils through the Deparment
of Neighborhood Empowerment.
The Greater Valley Glen Council (GVGC) was formed
in 1996 and was certified as the 42nd Neighborhood Council
on August 27, 2002.
The GVGC consists of committed commuity stakeholders
who plan and implement community projects to foster improvement.
The GVGC shall seek to enhance the economic vitality and quality
of life of the community, to preserve and enhance its character
and prevent its deterioration.
A Stakeholder is anyone who lives, works or owns
property within the Council boundaries. In addition, a Stakeholder
is anyone who participates in educational institutions, religious
institutions and community organizations.
As a Stakeholder you can participate by:
- Attending meetings the first Monday of each
month at Valley College, Cafeteria Conference Room, 5800
Fulton Avenue, Valley Glen.
- Be on our email list to be notified of important
issues and meetings.
- Take a position on issues.
- Run for a seat on the Board of Directors.
- Vote for the Board of Directors.
