The general membership elected newcomers Bethel Cope-Vega, Raul Romo and Adriana Martinez and incumbents Coleeen Vandepas, Sammy Portillo, Gavin Mckiernan and Chris Graeber. Incumbent Lisa Wibroe is the first alternate. All will serve two-year terms.
At the monthly board of directors meeting, Annie Greenfeld was re-elected to serve a second one-year term as president.
Other newly elected officers include: Bethel Cope-Vega, vice president; Coleen Vandepas, treasurer; Chris Graeber, secretary; Sammy Portillo, parliamentarian; Danny Amat, sergeant-at-arms.
“I look forward to serving the Association, the neighborhood and the city in the coming year.” said Greenfeld. “Wrigley is experiencing many exciting improvements as well as challenges. I hope our neighbors use our next meeting as an opportunity to tell us what they’d like to see in the year ahead.”
Members and guests will have a chance to meet and greet the board members at the Wrigley Association summer potluck on Monday, July 6 at 7pm at Veterans Park. Attendees are encouraged to bring a dish, but it is not required to attend. There will also be a short presentation on the Harbor Subdivision Transit Corridor Study by Randy Lamm of the Metro South Bay Area Team. He will discuss public transportation plans in and around the 405 and 110 freeways that could significantly affect Wrigley and Long Beach in the near future.
