From Civic Engagement to City Council: Councilmember Traci Park Speaks to Upper School
The week started strong as Traci Park, the Los Angeles City Councilmember for the 11th district, visited Archer on Monday, December 9, to talk to Upper School students about civic engagement. Artemis Center board members Grace R. ’25 and Lucy W. ’25 facilitated the conversation. Ms. Park discussed what motivated her to run for office, what her day-to-day looks like as a council member, challenges she has faced and overcome as a woman in politics, and advice for students who want to be civically engaged, whether or not they wish to become public servants.
