The Hollywood Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC) is also gearing up for the upcoming local elections on March 5, 2024. The PAC proudly announces the first endorsements and looks forward to supporting candidates who align with the PAC’s mission.
We ended the month of October with the Chamber leading a tour through Hollywood of a delegation of the Urban Land Institute. ULI was holding its national fall 2023 meeting here in Los Angeles, and its delegates were thrilled to learn about Hollywood’s past, present, and future.
Thank you for your unwavering support, and we invite you to stay connected with us as we embark on this exciting journey together. Your continued involvement is greatly valued and essential to our shared success.
Sincerely,
President and CEO
