Area 6 Stakeholder
Harold Shapiro
Committees:
Executive
Outreach (Former Chair)
I joined the Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council in June of 2019. My wife and I are home owners and have resided in Sherman Oaks since 1999. I decided to get involved with SONC so that my voice could be heard, and that the voices of the neighbors that I represent in Area 6 could also be heard when it comes to decsions being made by others in our community and in city government that affect us all. Please feel free to contact me via my e-mail address harold.shapiro.sonc@gmail.com if there is an issue in the Sherman Oaks community that you would like to discuss or raise attention to.
Harold served on SONC from 2019-2023.
