website address: http://www.allncs.org |
Representatives
from DONE, BONC and a variety of City Departments will meet with
Neighborhood Council stakeholders on Saturday, September 18th, in
the Faculty Center at Los Angeles City College on Vermont.
These forums, held every two months, have become an important part
of the process of sharing current information about the emerging
Neighborhood Councils and their relationships with the City.
At them, stakeholders from Certified Neighborhood Councils, some
with elected Boards, mingle easily with those who represent groups
still in the process of being formed. These forums are quickly becoming
not-to-be missed events.
The Alliance is a work in progress, as are the Neighborhood Councils
it is intended to facilitate and support. The group has grown out
of a partnership bringing the work of Richard MacMinn and Mark Seigel
together with the long standing efforts of Noah Modisett and Bill
Christopher, who served as the President of the Board of Neighborhood
Commissioners (BONC).
The purpose of the Alliance is to:
 |
open
lines of communication between Neighborhood Councils all across
to the City to share information and experiences; |
|
to
make available information regarding the legal framework, responsibilities,
and possibilities to each and every Neighborhood Council, either
in formation or Certified; |
|
and
to interface with the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment
on common issues which impact the Citywide System of Neighborhood
Councils. |
The invitation
looks like this:
