About Anthony
Though a New Yorker by birth, Anthony Bethel is certainly an Angeleno, having moved here 27 years ago. His wife, Kelli, and he moved to Valley Glen on Thanksgiving Day, 2010. He has been thankful for our neighborhood ever since. He has worked in tech sales since almost his first day in LA. We say almost, because the Northridge earthquake that greeted him when he arrived slowed him down a few weeks. He still remembers thinking, “Well, I guess that’s what earthquakes feel like!”

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”!

About Cosmo
I am a 3rd generation Angeleno. Born and raised in Sherman Oaks, moved to Valley Glen in 2016 and fell in love with my new neighborhood. I have coached football at Notre Dame HS and Laurel Hall School.

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.

About Andrea
I have lived in the Laurel Grove neighborhood since 2003. Over time, I have grown increasingly concerned about traffic safety for our community. I would use my seat on the council to advocate for an additional pedestrian crosswalk or traffic signal between Whitsett and Laurel Canyon on Oxnard, and a DASH route linking the Orange Line with major shopping plazas in our district including the upcoming NoHo West Development.

About Scott

I am a lifelong Southern California resident, and have lived and worked most of my life in the San Fernando Valley. 
I am passionate about education, the arts, and civic engagement, all working in service of the communities and constituents that make up our diverse and valued population.
 Growing up as an Eagle Scout, and remaining involved with community service and representation throughout my lifetime, I am inspired to advocate for the needs of our community on a civic level, and to encourage local vibrancy in a time of growth and change for Los Angeles. As a fellow Valley Glen resident, I am invigorated by the varied and constituent-minded perspectives of the GVGNC, and look forward to joining this collective as another passionate voice for upholding, supporting and improving the lives and well-being of my fellow neighbors, and all the quality people living, working and contributing to an enriching life, living and livelihood here in the San Fernando Valley.

About Daniel

My name is Daniel Lopez and I am a long term resident and stakeholder in Valley Glen – I live right across the street from Burbank Blvd Elementary! We have so many issues facing our communities and regions – increased homelessness, public safety concerns, skyrocketing housing prices and a woeful transportation network for the Valley and our region. I hope to work on these issues and so many other issues with the NC Board. As a LA native and a renter in this increasingly unaffordable city, I hope to play a active role on making my community better instead sitting on the sidelines – I am looking forward to getting in the arena and getting my hands dirty.
