 Elizabeth Bougart-Sharkov – At-Large Rep and Chair, Urban Design & Preservation Committee - Elizabeth has been a part of the Neighborhood Council system in Los Angeles since September of 2003, when she was elected to the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Governing Board for the first time. As a Representative At-Large and a design professional for over 30 years of continuous architectural practice, she took it as her professional and citizen’s responsibility to establish the SLNC Urban Design & Preservation Advisory Committee (UD&PAC).She felt that such committee will be an important tool for the stakeholders in Silver Lake, especially at the time when urban infill development was focusing on inner city opportunities. Soon after, lots of the already certified Neighborhood Councils citywide considered following the Silver Lake NC’s example.While proposed new development can be beneficial to the community, it must be also compatible with the already established neighborhood character that serves and enhances, not “deprives” the community. This has been Elizabeth’s philosophy and mission as a Chair of the Urban Design & Preservation Advisory Committee (UD&PAC) since she founded it in November of 2003.Elizabeth received her Master’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Architecture, Structural Engineering and Geodesy in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 1987 Elizabeth was able to join her family by arriving from Bulgaria in Los Angeles, after 25 years of imposed separation. She moved to Silver Lake in 1989, where she joined the Silver Lake Chamber of Commerce with her architectural practice. This membership put a start to her community activism, which she claims to be her second, but not less important passion in life, after architecture.

  Gale Jaffe - Region 4 Rep - Gale moved to Silver Lake in 1987. She worked as a teacher,counselor and administrator for Los Angeles Unified School District. She became interested in the Neighborhood Council when a proposed
development on Maltman Ave. would have destroyed one of the first works of architect, Rudolf Schindler. The neighborhood organized and saved his fine work. Gale collected e-mails from neighbors and kept them informed. Several members of the SLNC helped in that struggle. When elections came up, Gale felt it was time to give back. Since that time, she has continued to be involved in neighborhood issues– the latest was partnering with the Silver Lake Improvement Association (SLIA) to obtain a grant from CD13 to clean blighted areas on Silver Lake Blvd. She still sends weekly e-mail blasts on topics of interest, and continues to be active in neighborhood preservation and building a sense of community. To that end she is a member of the Urban Design and Preservation Committee as well as the SLIA.
