          |  | Claudia Dunn is the Assistant General Manager of DONE, 
            the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment.
 
 During her presentation to the C-PAB Summit, she made the case for 
            inclusion of the C-PABs in each Neighborhood Council. In her opinion, 
            every neighborhood, and every stakeholder within them, benefits from 
            taking part in the process of community based policing. This spirit 
            of inclusion must be maintained throughout the City.
 
 Ms. Dunn is a 21-year Los Angeles City Employee whose background spans 
            a variety of community, policy and administrative arenas.
 
 She has held positions within the City's Community Development Department 
            and Housing Departments and was appointed the Los Angeles Police Commission's 
            first Community Policing Implementation Coordinator, responsible for 
            collaborating with the LAPD and community to implement a community-based 
            style of policing and problem-solving.
 
 Her last LAPD assignment was with LAPD recruitment.
 
 DONE's Mission is to promote public participation in government and 
            make government more responsive to local needs by facilitating the 
            creation of neighborhood councils throughout the City of Los Angeles.
 
 The Department of Neighborhood Empowerment has been formed to create 
            these councils and to offer education, training and support to neighborhood 
            councils once they are established.
