PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2025

As we close out 2025, I just want to take a moment to share my appreciation with all of you. This has been a challenging, collaborative, and truly meaningful year for our Los Angeles County Management Council (LACMC), and that’s because of the commitment each of you brings to this work.

One of my favorite moments was the Fall Conference—it was wonderful seeing so many of you in person, catching up, swapping ideas, and cheering one another on. That spirit of connection is what makes our Council such a strong and supportive community of County leaders.

Before we all head into the holiday rush, a quick reminder: if you haven’t voted yet in the Management Council election, please do take a few minutes to make your voice heard. Your vote genuinely helps shape the direction of our organization, and every one of them matters.

And of course, I hope to see you at the Holiday Gala. It’s always one of the best events of the year—a chance to relax, celebrate what we’ve accomplished together, and simply enjoy each other’s company before the new year begins.

Looking ahead to 2026, I’m feeling incredibly optimistic. The momentum we’ve built, the creativity you bring, and the shared purpose that defines this Council give me so much confidence about what we can achieve together. There is real opportunity on the horizon, and I’m excited for the work—and the wins—we’ll share in the coming year.

Thank you for everything you do, every day, in service to Los Angeles County and the communities that rely on us. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a bright, inspiring start to the new year.

Until such time,

Ricardo D. García
President, Los Angeles County Management Council
