On Wednesday, VICA hosted an After Dark event with Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who won her Supervisor seat during the 2022 midterm elections.
Supervisor Horvath began by speaking to our members about her experience serving in local government in West Hollywood. She then moved on to share the importance of being present in the San Fernando Valley to ensure constituents know that she is here to engage with and draw attention to important issues for our residents.
In her opening remarks, she stated that her first major focus as Supervisor was to address the homelessness crisis within the county, including her extension of the county's state of emergency, which helps expedite hiring for county workers and contracting with community organizations.
She talked about her focus on improving county transportation infrastructure, specifically within the San Fernando Valley, and assured VICA members that important resources are being directed to the region that will help generate more business activity. She went on to state that as a member of the Metro Board, she has focused on improving ridership on Metro, including the implementation of Metro's Ambassador program, and addressed the need to continue working with law enforcement to address safety concerns on public transit.
Supervisor Horvath closed her remarks by discussing the importance of VICA and the role that VICA plays within the business community; having run her own small business, she understands the significance that her role as county supervisor plays when it comes to impacting businesses and ensured that her office would continue to be a resource and work with the business community.
VICA thanks our presenting sponsors, Burbank Airport Marriott, EKA, Southland Regional Association of Realtors, and our co-sponsor, Metro.
