The City of Los Angeles, Community Action Board (CAB) needs your help!
The City of Los Angeles, Community Action Board (CAB) has sent our Community Needs Assessment Survey to our community, City partners, and to the people we help every day. As the designated Community Action Agency for the City of Los Angeles, the Community Development Department prepares and submits a Community Action Plan to the State of California Department of Community Services and Development. The plan must have community input on the recommended City priorities and strategies to reduce or eliminate poverty. You are an important part of this network of partners. The CAB is asking for you to also take a moment and complete the survey.
An online survey is also available through Survey Monkey at the following link https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2013communityactionsurvey.
This link to the survey will be posted on the CDD website. The survey is available in English and Spanish. ”PDF” versions are also available by clicking here should you wish to print and distribute the survey to those who prefer to complete a hard copy. Please feel free to share the survey with anyone you may know who should also be included. Everyone's opinions are welcomed and we want to hear from as many people as possible! All paper surveys must be completed and delivered to the CDD by Wednesday, March 20, 2013.

SHIELDS Innovative All Woman Executive Team
In the late 1980's SHIELDS for Families was founded in South Central Los Angeles by 3 women, Dr. Xylina Bean, Kathryn Icenhower, and Norma Mtume. Xylina continued with SHIELDS through serving as President of the Board while Kathy and Norma led the agency together. Soon after, Charlene Smith and Sara Tienda joined them to help lead SHIELDS for over 20 years. This year, SHIELDS expanded their executive leadership team from the original 4 to include a total of 8 women exclusively!
CEO Kathy Icenhower reflects on this milestone…
“I feel honored to be a part of an agency where so many people have given their passion and commitment to making a difference and I am humbled to be a part of an executive team that has stayed together for over 20 years in order to help guide and direct our vision. SHIELDS has grown tremendously in 20 years, today we operate on a $27 million budget that serves 7,000 families annually with 350+ staff members throughout our 35 comprehensive and collaborative programs. Therefore, the recent growth in our executive leadership team is just a testament to and necessary by-product of our ever-expanding services, programs, staff, clients, and community”
