The Conservancy Welcomes New Board Member Alec Nedelman!

Earlier this month, Alec Nedelman was elected to serve as the Conservancy’s 11th member of the Board of Directors by a unanimous vote. As a long-standing Conservancy supporter and volunteer, his experience has already proved invaluable to the organization, and we are thrilled that he will assume a position on the board.

Professionally, Nedelman has been a trusted advisor and counselor to real estate clients and for-profit and not-for-profit companies, providing them with the critical thinking needed to reason through unexpected issues and opportunities. He has over 40 years of experience helping clients and companies analyze, structure, negotiate and implement complex commercial transactions, including financings, ground leases, and workouts and restructurings. During that same time period, he has been involved with helping over a dozen not-for-profits with board governance, fund raising, mission fulfillment and retreats.

On his Conservancy involvement, Nedelman says, “If we destroy our history, how are we going to learn from the past? The Conservancy plays a vital role in preservation, adaptive reuse, and education about Santa Monica‘s communal history. As a Board member, I am looking forward to working with the other directors to learn from them and contribute to the Conservancy’s many successful programs.”
