LA County Launches Governance Study With Public Listening Sessions

KH Consulting Group has begun an independent study of Los Angeles County’s governance model, with public listening sessions scheduled across the County this month. The initiative, directed by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, aims to identify strengths and challenges in the current system and develop recommendations for actionable change.

“We invite representatives from interested CBOs, NGOs, and other representative organizations to join us,” stated KH Consulting Group in their announcement. “Session participants will learn more about Los Angeles County governance and have the opportunity to share relevant experiences and ideas for enhancing County services and ensuring inclusivity and transparency.”

The study includes eleven in-person sessions at various locations throughout Los Angeles County between April 17 and April 24, 2025. Sessions will be held at libraries, college campuses, and community centers in areas including La Crescenta, Santa Clarita, San Fernando, Lancaster, Santa Monica, Willowbrook, Whittier, Los Angeles, Artesia, South El Monte, and East Los Angeles.

Two additional virtual sessions will take place via Zoom on May 6 and May 8, 2025, both from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Participants must register by 12:00 p.m. on the day of the session to guarantee receiving the Zoom meeting link and instructions.

Each in-person session will last approximately 90 minutes, with times varying from morning to evening to accommodate different schedules. The earliest session begins at 9:30 a.m. at the San Gabriel Valley Service Center, while several evening sessions run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Specific in-person sessions include April 17 at La Crescenta Library (10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.) and College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita (3:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m.); April 18 at San Fernando Library (10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.) and Lancaster Library (3:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m.); April 21 at Santa Monica Public Library (11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) and Willowbrook Library (5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m.); April 22 at Sorensen Library in Whittier (10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.) and 510 S Vermont Ave in Los Angeles (3:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m.); April 23 at Artesia Library (5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m.); and April 24 at San Gabriel Valley Service Center (9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m.) and East Los Angeles Library (1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m.).
