Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council

Award Certificates?
Maybe.

New friendships?
Definitely.

Fame & Fortune?
Nope.
😂

So why DO people volunteer to be on the ERNC? It depends, but often it’s about an issue that someone cares about, a desire to participate in local decisions, or just because they care about the neighborhood. No matter what, you’ll learn something new, even if it’s just the Brown Act, the City of LA’s Code of Ethics (it might be stricter than what a Supreme Court Justice has to abide by!) or Robert’s Rules.

Whatever your reason is, if you’re interested, go to the link in our bio👆and fill out an application for an open seat! Then make sure to come to the meeting to the September meeting (Tuesday, Sept. 2, 7p at ER City Hall) to tell us about yourself.

There are currently 3 open seats, and they’re unrestricted, which means you don’t have to live in a particular sub-district.

See you there!

New ERNC Board member and Board Secretary Mary O’Connor was out there in the heat with President Flor Chaidez this weekend - that’s volunteer dedication!

Mary is an 8-year resident of Eagle Rock, where she’s raising two kids and co-hosts a book club that meets at Taco Social 🌮📚 when she’s not at her full-time job in tech. 😅

As Board Secretary, Mary is part of the Executive Committee, and puts together the meeting agendas and makes sure they’re always posted 72 hours before a meeting. You can go to our website or to the message board outside ER City Hall to see an agenda for an upcoming meeting.

Welcome, Mary, and thank you for taking on EXTRA volunteer work!

Thank you for everything you do for the community, Alisa! 🥰

Tonight’s meeting is a great place to start! If you can’t make it, you can always email info@ernc.la with questions, or visit the link in our bio to apply for an NPG.
