About VANC

A Model of Regional Governance

The Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils (VANC) was founded by Jill Banks Barad in March 2003. It is an independent organization open to participation by all elected Neighborhood Council Board members and committee chairs. 

MISSION:


  • To identify problems and help develop solutions to issues of concern to Neighborhood Councils in the Valley and throughout the City,
  • To promote Neighborhood Council informed participation in the political process regarding local, regional and City issues,
  • To advocate before City Council, Council Committees, DONE, and BONC as one voice on issues that affect the City and Neighborhood Councils.

GOALS

  • To make Neighborhood Councils more effective at each level of organization,
  • To act as a clearinghouse and resource center on Neighborhood Council and City of Los Angeles issues,
  • To offer a forum for dialogue with elected officials and department heads,
  • To encourage involvement of stakeholders in the neighborhood council process through effective outreach,
  • To conduct ongoing research, discussion, and education.
