Our New Board Members
On May 22, CCRA had its Annual Meeting at the Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA) where we elected new directors and officers. Click Here to read short bios of the candidates and learn about their interests and passion for the neighborhood.
Also on the agenda-- Rebecca Rhynhart gave a wonderful talk about her time
as Controller
for the City of Philadelphia and what motivated her to run after serving
as the City's Budget Director under Mayor Michael Nutter and Chief
Administrative Officer under Mayor Jim Kenney. In a nutshell, it was
the waste and inefficiency she observed at every level of City
government. Two of my favorite questions: On a scale of 1 to 100, how
efficiently are our tax dollars being spent? (no percentage given--just "
there is much room for improvement"). And Will you run for mayor in
2024? ("I'm focusing on the job I've got now"). A politician in the
making?
Finally, we
had a wonderful party in the beautiful AVA garden on a gorgeous May
evening. Many thinks to the AVA for their generous support of CCRA and
board members Donna Cordner, Barbara Halpern, and Richard Frey for
helping organize the event.
