President’s Message
I am honored to serve as the 64th President of the Ebell of Los Angeles. Founded in 1894, we’ve been part of the Los Angeles for a very long. Today, The Ebell of Los Angeles operates a club for women that combines tradition and modernity with members from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, experiences and interests.
As I write this message, our beautiful, historic building on Wilshire Boulevard is shuttered due to the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic but our members are still engaging with one another, learning from each other and working together to support our philanthropies, programs and projects virtually wherever possible. I invite you to explore this website and learn more about us until we can re-open our doors for an in-person visit.
If you like what you see, I invite you to contact us and consider joining a community of more than 600 dynamic women (and some men, yes gentlemen are welcome to join) who are committed to education, culture and philanthropy with a large dose of fun and camaraderie included.
We are operating differently in this extraordinary time but our values remain the same — service and community. Check out our online programs, sign up for our emails and please contact me if you have any questions.
