Executive Board Members

Anthony Bethel
Representative District 1
About Anthony
While balancing work, family, friends, their perennial tech support, and countless live music shows, he has continued to find time to volunteer at his son’s school. That sense of community led him to shed the common belief that Los Angeles was a City of individuals. Valley Glen was just as much a community as anywhere he’d known. Encouraged by a neighbor and friend, he decided to jump into its Neighborhood Council head first in spring of 2020. The world was soon shaken by Covid-19 and the GVGC meetings, as so many other things, had to go virtual. His comfort with technology allowed him to help the Council make that transition smoothly. Or, as smoothly as these things can go! He soon was elected as the GVGC Vice-President, and when the need arose, our new President.
His goal is to maintain and support the community of Valley Glen, welcome as many of its members as he can, and be a voice for the local in the sea of the whole. And, back to the live music, he can invariably be found wearing one of the many TOOL t-shirts in his collection. Email him or look for the shirt and just say “Hi”!

Cosmo Moore
District 4 Representative, Public Safety Committee
About Cosmo
In my 1 year on the council I got stop signs installed at dangerous Erwin/Ventura Cyn, lights along the perimeter of Erwin Elem School, and had a fence put up around the school parking lot to stop illicit activity that was going on.
I am a stay at home dad with a 4 year old and I work from home for a low vision technology company.
I am passionate about education, my wife is a teacher. I am legally blind and am a strong advocate for the disabled. I have a good relationship with our senior lead officer and city councilman.

Heidi Harrison
About Heidi
She is the mother of three boys and, therefore, afraid of nothing. Theater, education, and at- risk teens are her passions. She has a BA from BYU and a Masters in Directing from Texas State. For fun, she is known to be a rapping, hip hopping grandma. In Utah, Heidi volunteered for years in Juvenile Detention and founded a 501c3 nonprofit called ACT RISK NO MORE- a safe, artistic place for ex Juvie teens to have their creative voices heard. Heidi also serves as the President of the women’s organization at church, as board member of the Lonny Chapman Group Rep Theater, and now on GVGC. Also, a professional actor, she can presently be seen in the Consumer Cellular dog park commercial.
“ I am excited to be on the neighborhood board and actively do good things for our community.”

Michael Hjelmstad
District 2 Representative
About Michael
I wasn’t born in Los Angeles, but I got here as soon as I could. The military brought me to California in 1993, and after several overseas deployments, I’m now proud to make my home in Valley Glen with my partner Lauralee. We love living in a peaceful neighborhood with kind and friendly neighbors.
I’m a Marine Corps veteran, and I’m active in state leadership of The American Legion, the largest military veterans service organization. I’ve spent more than a decade as an active member of multiple volunteer service organizations, and I look forward to using my experience in nonprofit administration to benefit the Greater Valley Glen community. After having spent so much of my life in the military and in service-oriented groups, putting the mission of the community over personal ambition is second nature to me.
My goal on this council is to improve our community by addressing our local needs and facilitating tangible solutions. Within weeks of joining the council, I became a member of the ad hoc committee on homelessness, which I believe is perhaps the most important challenge facing Los Angeles. I’m honored to have the opportunity to bring my skills and experience to the table to help create solutions for this and all challenges facing our community.

By taking a spot on the Council, she hopes to advocate for better education and more community-based resource programs regarding pet foster, adoption, and spay/neuter – especially as the city-run shelters are understaffed due to the pandemic.
