To be recognized and respected as the leading advocate for the common interests of California`s Cities .To expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians WE BELIEVE: Local self-governance is the cornerstone of democracy. Our strength lies in the unity of our diverse communities of interest. In the involvement of all stakeholders in establishing goals and in solving problems. In conducting the business of government with transparency, openness, respect, and civility. The spirit of honest public service is what builds communities. Open decision-making that is of the highest ethical standards honors the public trust. Cities are vital to the strength of the California economy. The vitality of cities is dependent upon their fiscal stability and local autonomy. The active participation of all city officials increases the League`s effectiveness. Partnerships and collaborations are essential elements of focused advocacy and lobbying . Ethical and well-informed city officials are essential for responsive, visionary leadership, and effective and efficient City operations.
I have over 32 years of nonprofit management experience and I know the roles and challenges of the nonprofit world. I don’t believe there are “problems” to handle, but rather there are “challenges” to overcome. I have been part of a national nonprofit organization level (Disabled Sports USA, a member organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee), the state level (Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake), as well as at the local nonprofit level (Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna, The Maryland Center for Arts & Technology as well as The Montessori School). This diversity of employment has provided a perspective that few have. At each agency, I have improved the areas for which I was responsible, brought in new supporters, established new systems to improve efficiency, and worked to strengthen existing systems that improved effectiveness. I have served in senior management for most of my career, providing each organization with my nonprofit leadership, nonprofit management, financial management, strategic planning and implementation, business planning, fund development, performance-based management, human resources and entrepreneurial leadership abilities. I have shown and proven my ability to put the needs of the clients and stakeholders first, create relationships with partners and funders, strong ethics and values in the missions of the agencies I have worked for, ability to lead growth while implementing new systems, and recruit and work with board members in a team environment.
