Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I'm originally from the East Coast, and my family moved to Los Angeles back in 2014. Once we started a family, we started to research other areas that would allow us to be part of a family-friendly community, and that's when we found Burbank. We had heard about the excellent school system and a community that's fairly intimate. We didn't realize what this really meant until we moved and got to know so many of our neighbors and friends from our community. Burbank has given us a sense of belonging in a way that we did not expect, given that we are transplants after living so long across the country. The people we've met throughout have become our "village" and we are very thankful for this city.
With my appreciation and
passion for this city, I'm deeply passionate about contributing to our community's development and growth. Serving on a board would provide me with a platform to leverage my skills and experiences to drive positive change. I believe in the power of collaborative decision-making, and I'm excited about the potential to engage with fellow board members and city residents to shape our community and my family's future.
Education
My education background is in business administration and international business. And I've spent the past 18 years of my career in management consulting and corporate innovation strategy.
Additional Pertinent Courses or Training
Other Pertinent Skills, Experience or Interests
I have found that my "superpower" lies within developing out strategies and implementing change management in organizations. As part of my job, I'm very close to continuous disruptions in technology in trends, and I can bring forth ideas that can help Burbank implement innovative solutions to serve the community.
I also volunteer at our school (Thomas Jefferson Elementary), am a Girl Scouts troop leader, and hold a leadership position at our church.
Serving and engaging the community is part of my core
values, and serving as a Burbank board member is another way for me to utilize my skillsets and be part of the change.

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? Having served on the Sustainable Burbank Commission for 4 years, the past 1.5 years as vice-chair, it's been a privilege and amazing opportunity to be able to participate so directly in the governance of our City and work cross-functionally with staff and Council. I've learned a great deal during my term on the SBC and would like to continue my service to the City. I have a lifelong interest for the field now known as sustainability, which affects every aspect of the built environment (IOB) and open space (Parks & Rec).
Through my long career as an attorney for various companies, I've had the opportunity to advise about legal and business aspects on a wide range of topics including electric vehicle charging infrastructure, biofuels, operations and facilities, corporate energy utilization structure and renewables, ESG, organic agriculture, and corporate social responsibility. In 2018 I completed the Burbank Master Recycler (Waste Warrior) program conducted by the Burbank Recycling Center staff, which included initiating a project to investigate potential utilization of horse manure in a compost program. As I continue to learn more about our City and the challenges it faces, I'd like to continue serving on a Board such as IOB or PRCS that helps to inform and affect the City's activities, priorities and decisions.

Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.
I have been fortunate to have had many opportunities to apply my knowledge, experience and hands-on learning to serve the City of Burbank.

This vital work supporting the City is part of my long-term commitment to serve.
For over two decades, I have partnered with teams, municipalities and nonprofit organizations to resolve some of the most pressing challenges across the nation, including, but not limited to, creating green space and sustainable projects, housing, jobs and educational programs. These experiences allowed me to collaborate to advance shared missions that help communities. Locally, I have appreciated the opportunity to advise and support our highly-skilled Parks and Recreation Department with many diverse, innovative and engaging programs that promote a healthy Burbank for residents of all ages.

I look forward to accomplishing the
goals referenced above by uplifting and supporting our community.

Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? Hello, my name is Adrine Der-Tavitian and my family and I moved to Burbank about two years ago. In January, I decided to take a career break to become a stay at home mom to my 1.5 year old son. I’ve spent my career working in philanthropy and education. Most recently, I was a Senior Manager at the UCLA Anderson School of Management where I led a diverse array of programming for students, alumni and broader members of the community. Prior to Anderson, I managed relationships and fundraising efforts for the California Community Foundation and Liberty Hill Foundation. I am interested in serving on the Park, Recreation and Community Services Board or Sustainable Burbank Commission because I absolutely love living in Burbank and want to be more involved with the community here. In my short two years here, I’ve found Burbank to be a very friendly city with a deep sense of community. As a mother of a young child, I have found myself using many of the parks and recs facilities with my son and have seen firsthand how these programs are vital for families. I think I would bring a helpful perspective to the Board and hope to serve as a voice for other families. I have also always had an interest in government and public service. I majored in political science in college and spent a summer interning for Congressman Adam Schiff in Washington, D.C.
Education
I am a double Bruin, having received an MBA with a specialization in Social Impact from the UCLA Anderson School of Management in 2018 and a B.A. from UCLA with a double major in Political Science and International Development Studies in 2009.

Park, Recreation and Community Services Board
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.
I believe that both my educational and career background would serve me well on the Board. My background in political science will help me navigate the procedural aspects of the Board, while my MBA will help me evaluate any proposals that have budgetary implications. I’ve also spent my entire career working in the non-profit and public sector, where I’ve worked closely with community groups and a variety of stakeholders to implement programs. I’ve found that it takes great listening skills and a collaborative attitude to successfully bring people together to achieve a common goal. I think these skills would serve me well on the Board. I also believe that my participation in MAEVE would be helpful for the role because so many of the members utilize the parks and rec facilities and programs, and they would be a great source of feedback.
What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My goal for serving on the Board is to simply give back to the community and be helpful to the City Council. As someone that will be living in Burbank for many years to come, I would love to help Burbank continue to be a wonderful place to live.

Second Choice
SECOND choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:
Sustainable Burbank Commission
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position I believe that the same qualifications that I listed for the Park, Recreation and Community Services Board would also be relevant for the Sustainable Burbank Commission. I would add that while working at UCLA Anderson, I undertook a strategic planning project for programming that involved climate change and sustainable finance. Sustainability was top of mind for us at the business school and informed many of the events and educational programs that we developed.
What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? My goal for serving on the Commission is to simply give back to the community and be helpful to the City Council. As someone that will be living in Burbank for many years to come, I would love to help Burbank continue to be a wonderful place to live.

List Community activities in which you are involved:
I currently run an unincorporated non-profit working to engage young people in government and politics.
We're based in Burbank and the majority of our work revolves around educating and encouraging young voting-age people in Burbank and the LA area. I am also a member of the Burbank Pride organizing committee, the Burbank Armenian Association, and Vice President of the PCC Armenian Students' Association. And I spend time attending public meetings, such as BOE and Burbank Council, taking notes, and seeking to better understand the processes behind local governance. I treat it as though it was another lecture I attend for school, observing these proceedings as first-hand education of the highest quality. This consists of doing research beyond the public meetings, and spending several hours a week dedicated to absorbing and learning the context behind the issues and decisions which local governing bodies make.

First Choice
FIRST choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:
Transportation
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position.
I am a transit advocate, having spent considerable time studying transit policies and their impacts on communities. For my personal mobility, I am very multi-modal. I take several different forms of transit on a daily basis to commute to school and get around town. The issues put before this commission are deeply personal to me, as I will be among the users of almost any transportation services in and around Burbank.
What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? I wish to push Burbank towards a more green, walkable, and human-focused future. Transportation policy is central to the development of a healthy community in Burbank and I would work to accelerate the council's transit priorities and help increase the quality of life for residents.
Among the smaller, immediate
projects I'd advocate for would be ensuring that all bus stops in the city meet modern ADA standards (many do not), and that they incorporate shade, seating, and landscaping to provide for a more comfortable experience for residents. I would advocate for the transportation commission to push for this issue to see prioritization on the IOB's CIP projects list.
In the near-to-long term, I would like to support the
council's goals to provide non-automobile transportation alternatives for the many new developments coming to the city of Burbank, eliminating added traffic and contributing to a lower cost of living for low- income residents. This should be done not only by cooperating with LA Metro and other partners, but by strengthening Burbank Bus and offering more and more in-demand routes.
Second Choice
SECOND choice for Board/Commission/Committee appointment:
Parks and Recreation
Andre O Dionysian
Describe any qualifications, experience, and education, as well as any technical or professional background you may have relative to the duties of this position Growing up in Burbank, I have deeply benefited from the Parks and Rec. Dept.'s services. Recreation classes, events reservations, public amenities, and hiking trails have all played a crucial role in my life and have served me, my family, and my community well. So my experience is firsthand as a user of these services.
What are your goals in serving on this Board/Commission/Committee? As the city of Burbank grows and evolves, so must the Parks and Recreation dept.'s services.
Among my
goals would be to aggressively increase the amount of trees, plantlife, and landscaping on city sidewalks.
There are far too many roads in Burbank with far too few trees and by extension shade. The dept.'s forestry services should be granted the resources and direction to expand it's tree-planting programs. In particular, as a part of vision zero, the city could put medians in unutilized stretches of protected tuning lanes (such as on Hollywood Way), which Forestry could then use to plant trees on, extending shade from sidewalks onto the road itself.
Additionally, parks and rec's classes offered should expand to include life skills for young adults, often not taught in our schools, such as personal finance. In this example, such a class could encourage better personal habits and fiscal responsibility as a way to help young people navigate the increasingly high cost of living in Burbank and the state as a whole.
These are just some
examples, but my aim is to demonstrate my belief in a whole-of-community approach to Parks and Rec's services. It's my firm belief that through intelligent park policies, we can continue to make Burbank a better place to live for residents of all ages and all walks of life.
