Introducing Our New Volunteer Outreach Coordinator

We are expanding and improving our volunteer opportunities thanks to longtime Board member, Tamara Powers who is volunteering her time in the new role of Volunteer Outreach Coordinator. Tamara has served on our Board since 2007 and is our Vice President of Development. An avid volunteer in the community, Tamara frequently visits our Clubs in San Pedro and Wilmington to assist with programming and events. From helping with art projects to serving at our Thanksgiving Dinners, Tamara contributes to our day-to-day activities in addition to fundraising initiatives for our organization.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact (310) 833-1322 ext. 237 or email leilanis@bgclaharbor.org.

Board Member Suzy Zimmerman Honored by Palos Verdes Chamber

On March 13, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce recognized our Board member, Suzy Zimmerman, as a Salute to Business Honoree. Suzy was presented with her award for her work with State Farm by Supervisor Don Knabe, State Senator Ted Lieu and Chamber Board member Allen Bond at the Salute to Business Chamber Dinner at Trump National Golf Club.

Since she joined our Board in 2011, Suzy has helped us expand our network considerably. She has been instrumental in gaining support from local businesses and helping us serve more youth. In addition to our Board and her work as a State Farm Agent, running her own Palos Verdes office serving the South Bay, she is also president of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Rotary Club.

Congratulations to our own Suzy Zimmerman!
