Delegates Elect AVCA Board Members

Delegates elected Ray De Leon, former Aliso Viejo Community Association president, and Jim Martin, current AVCA secretary—filling two of the five seats on the AVCA board of directors.

De Leon said he was overwhelmed by the support he received from the delegates during the June 20 election.

While budget and finances are on the top of his priority list, De Leon said his goal while on the AVCA board is to provide for the community, give them answers directly from the source, and keep the city beautiful.

“Not being a finance person allows me to look at things differently,” De Leon said. “If I can look at it and understand, I can help the community to understand.”

Martin mentioned three specific issues he plans to work on.

1. Delegate participation. “I’m scared something the community really wants, like the Savannah vote, wouldn’t happen because of apathy," he said.
2. Progress on Savannah’s Organic Ranch. Delegates approved AVCA’s recommendation to lease land to the organization June 20. Martin wants to see all the particulars worked out so the ranch can be completed.
3. More services for the community. Martin said more “small-ticket items,” such as a dog park, should be offered to the community.
