Palisades Village Green to Conduct Annual Meeting, Board of Directors Election

By LILY TINOCO | Assistant Editor

The Pacific Palisades Village Green will conduct its annual meeting—which includes an election for its Board of Directors—on Thursday, September 12, at 5 p.m. at Palisades Branch Library

Candidates for the board will make an introductory statement, then ballots will be cast. All interested members of the community in attendance will be eligible to vote.

“The number of directors will be at least nine and not more than 15,” Palisades Village Green President Cindy Kirven said to the Palisadian-Post. “And each will serve until the next annual meeting of members.”

The Board is currently composed of 15 directors, and two long-term members will be retiring this year: Betsy Collins and Ann Smith. Collins and Smith have agreed to stay on as “consultants” to the new board.

“They have each served for many years and have been instrumental in the ongoing care needed to keep the Green in such beautiful shape,” Kirven’s statement continued. “The community owes them a debt of gratitude for their years of service.”

Palisades Village Green is a “small, privately owned park” located at 15280 Sunset Boulevard between Swarthmore and Antioch. It operates with a mission to “maintain, in the heart of the community, an attractive, comfortable space in which people can meet others, have a snack, or simply sit in the shade to read or relax.”

Members of the community who wanted to run for a seat on the board were invited to provide a background statement and their interest in or prior activity with the Village Green by September 2.
