Director - Police & Fire Departments - 2 Years
"I have been a Crime Prevention Coordinator for thirty years. I've also worked as an inventory clerk/city yards-warehouse, street maintenance/asphalt crew-city yards, and as a janitor & maintenance/city hall, going back to 1966. In the nineties, I served on the MEA Board for two years. I want to make sure MEA continues to be part of the Coalition and that MEA members receive the best representation possible during negotiations. I will strive to make the MEA organization as transparent and accountable in all of its operational proceedings. United we stand - divided - we'll certainly fall short of what we should achieve."

"I’ve been employed by the City of Santa Monica for 15 years and my involvement with MEA started by listening to my co-workers who have held or currently hold positions on the board. I was a steward for a year and then completed the Directors term for Art Lopez when he promoted. This is my
second full term as an elected member of the MEA board and I look forward to helping other employees better understand their contract, MOU, and rights and responsibilities as City employees."
