Neighborhood OrganizationNeighborhood Organization

Board of Directors

Our neighborhood organization is led by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by residents at our annual meeting in May.  The Board fosters community in the neighborhood and represents the neighborhood's interests to the city through One-PS.


The Board consists of the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and communications officer. The board meets quarterly to address neighborhood issues and plans the neighborhood organization's annual meeting.  Details about the specific responsibilities of each role can be found in the By-Laws.

Volunteer Opportunities

Our Mission

The Little Beverly Hills Neighborhood Organization is a group of neighbors organized to address a range of issues for the purpose of maintaining and improving the livability and character of the Little Beverly Hills neighborhood by encouraging neighborhood identity and participation.  As a volunteer led organization, neighbors are encouraged to participate in one of our committees or on our Board of Directors based on their interest and skills.  Available opportunities are described below.

Social Committee

The Social Committee is the heart of the neighborhood organization and helps conceive, plan and implement social events to bring neighbors together.  Prior events have included Fall and Spring socials at homes in our neighborhood and our annual off-site holiday party.


The committee seeks volunteers who enjoy event planning and connecting neighbors to one another.

Special Events Committee

The Special Events Committee plans and executes all externally focused events in the neighborhood.  Given the neighborhood's rich mid-century history, the Special Events Committee produces the neighborhood's Modernism Week Home Tour that brings in significant revenue to the neighborhood organization.   The committee also hosts an annual neighborhood yard sale.

Potential Project List

Below is a potential project list maintained by the LBHNO Board of Directors of ideas submitted by homeowners.  


The Board reviews this list regularly, prioritizes impact, and budgets to address projects of high impact and feasibility.  Since we do not collect dues, our ability to achieve these projects is primarily dependent on revenue from Modernism Week tours.


Please contact the Board to add items to this on-going list.

Free Little Library

Sunny Dunes Restoration

Free Little Library

Several neighborhoods in Palm Springs have installed Free Little Libraries, a collection of neighborhood "mini-libraries." In addition to the purchase and installation costs, the LBHNO would need to secure a location, often as an easement on a deed.

Monument Sign

Sunny Dunes Restoration

Free Little Library

Monument signs are vertical signage welcoming visitors to a community. Unlike our blade signs on street sign poles, these signs are larger and often lit at night. In addition to the purchase and installation costs, the LBHNO would need to secure a location, often as an easement on a deed.

Sunny Dunes Restoration

Sunny Dunes Restoration

Sunny Dunes Restoration

We are actively working with the City for full repaving of Sunny Dunes from Compadre to El Cielo. However, beautification of the landscape islands along the sidewalk is not part of the scope of work and outside the boundaries of the Prescott Preserve.  We are investigating Measure J funding options including a Community Initiatied Project.

Power Line Burying

Sunny Dunes Restoration

Sunny Dunes Restoration

With the passage of Rule 20 in California, neighborhoods are now able to form an Underground Utility District to bury power lines. The cost is borne by homeowners through a 30-year bond added to annual property tax assessments. Sixty percent of owners must approve the project to proceed.

Below please find an online archive of the organization's governing documents, meeting minutes and prior newsletters.
