  LA's BEST is an after school program serving 28,000 elementary school children in the low income neighborhoods of Greater Los Angeles. As an active Board member, I have developed many connections and activities to further enrich this terrific program -- for example in 2011 a children's book club and essay contest, which resulted in eight young winners going to London on an all expenses paid visit.
