Beverly Hills is welcoming forty-four new members to the 2025-2026 Class of Team Beverly Hills (“Team BH”). This program aims to educate participants about the various operations of the city, its programs, and the opportunities available for volunteer involvement. The initiative, which has been in place since 1996, continues to foster community engagement and understanding of local governance.
Participants in Team BH will engage in a series of hands-on experiences, including demonstrations and workshops conducted by various city departments and community groups. This immersive approach provides community members with a comprehensive insight into the workings of their local government. Over the years, more than 800 residents have completed the program, with more than 70% of current elected officials and City Commissioners being alumni of Team BH.
The newly selected members encompass a diverse group of residents, business professionals, and students, reflecting the community’s broad spectrum. The resident members include individuals such as Michelle Adams, Michael Lippman, and Nicole Ahobim, among others. The program also includes business members like Ariel Rofeim and Tatiana Zinko, alongside student members Naomi Chung and Ariela Tehrani.
Team Beverly Hills is designed to include a total of 50 participants, which will comprise 30 members appointed by the Beverly Hills City Council, 18 members selected by a random lottery, and 2 members chosen by the Beverly Hills Unified School District. Furthermore, five representatives from the local business community will be selected by the City Council as well.
The upcoming class will run a variety of sessions that cover essential city operations, including Public Works, Emergency Management, Information Technology, Community Services, and Public Safety. These classes aim to educate participants on how the city functions and the essential services that are provided for the community’s benefit.
The application period for the next Class of Team Beverly Hills is currently ongoing and will remain open until August 15. Community members interested in participating are encouraged to apply through the city’s official website or by emailing the program’s team for further information.
Team BH was established to enhance understanding of local governance and has successfully done so over the years, encouraging civic engagement and building informed community members. The program reinforces the importance of being involved in local matters and the impact that informed citizens can have on their community.
Team Beverly Hills plays a vital role in fostering a sense of belonging and active participation among residents. The program not only serves to educate but also creates a network of community members who are aware of and engaged in local governance issues.
As the community prepares for the 2025-2026 Class, it anticipates another successful year of engagement, education, and collaboration among residents, businesses, and city officials.
