THE PEOPLE MAKING
MELROSE PLAZA POSSIBLE.
The Melrose Plaza Advisory Council (MPAC) and Community Organization Council serve as liaisons between the NW community and Melrose Plaza, communicating local needs and identifying opportunities to address health disparities, workforce needs, and other community concerns.
The councils are made up of neighborhood leaders, community advocates, clergy members, business owners, industry specialists, and community partners. We’d like to thank each council member for their energy and commitment to improving the lives of others.
