We had a great Halloween-inspired Binge Networking event today! Networking is challenging, but Binge reminds us to "Ditch the Pitch" and simply start a conversation. We had some fun thought-provoking prompts today to get the conversations started. Go ahead and give them a try at your next work gathering. Thank you @dannyfarrell1 and @nancysp4128 for hosting this fantastic Chamber program! Join us for the next Binge Networking on Tuesday, November 12, 9 - 10 AM on Zoom.
Exciting news from the office of Mayor Karen Bass: "Today I selected Jim McDonnell to serve as the 59th LAPD Chief and I wanted to make sure you heard from me about this decision. From the beginning of this administration, I have been clear: My top priority as Mayor is to ensure that Angelenos and our neighborhoods are safer than the day before. Over the past months, I met with hundreds of LAPD officers and community leaders about what they are looking for in the next Chief of Police. I heard time and time again that the Department needs a leader – someone who understands the Department but is ready to hit the ground running and push for change. Chief McDonnell is the right man for the job – and together we will work to grow and strengthen LAPD, deepen relationships with communities across the city, and make sure that Los Angeles is vigilant and prepared for anything that comes our way. Chief McDonnell has served for more than forty years in the public safety profession and is the first person to serve in senior executive leadership positions in the three largest policing agencies in Los Angeles County: the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD). During his tenure, all three agencies saw a reduction in crime and improved police-community relations. He is a proven leader, an innovator and a change maker – and he will build a new foundation in this City."
