  History of Our Council

The first meeting of the Los Angeles Area Council was January 24, 1990. Following the friendships that developed from the 1987 ABWA National Convention in Los Angeles, some members felt a council was needed for chapters in the large Los Angeles County area.  By the second meeting in February, Interim officers were elected and a Charter Development Team began to write the bylaws for the Council.

On June 9th, the chartering ceremony took place in Downey with the following being elected: President Diane (Gonzales) Tubbs; 1st Vice Chair Felecia Dennis; 2nd Vice Chair Vivian Armijo, Secretary Karen Hawe and Treasurer Barbara Carlson.
