The Greater Miracle Mile Chamber of Commerce (GMMCC) featured two special guests at its meeting in May: Council District 4 (CD4) Councilmember Nithya Raman, and her Miracle Mile Field Manager, Tabatha Yelos. The meeting took place over Zoom and allowed members to get acquainted with their new City Council representative.
COUNCILMEMBER Nithya Raman
The lunchtime meeting started with new member introductions and current member updates. Yelos explained her role and shared her contact information before introducing the councilmember.
Raman made it clear that she was interested in working with the Miracle Mile Chamber and getting to know members, perhaps by walking the district on Wilshire and engaging business owners in person. During the Q&A portion, concerns arose about a rumored homeless shelter site on a city public parking lot across from Cathedral Chapel School on S. Cochran. Raman explained that no such project had been approved yet, but promised to look into the matter and work together with any business affected by future site locations.
