Event Description:
Legislative Roundtable provides a setting for dialogue to take place on public policy issues and gives public agency staff, elected officials, their staff and businesses an opportunity to network. The meeting includes a guest speaker on a public sector topic and regular updates from our local cities, agencies, and elected officials.
Staff members provide brief reports from their prospective agencies to inform each other and members of the chamber of upcoming events or other items of interest.
This Month's Speaker:
Jim Freidl
General Manager
Conejo Recreation and Park District
Jim grew up in Agoura Hills attending public schools and graduated from Agoura High School. He holds a Bachelors Degree in Urban Planning from UC San Diego and a Juris Doctorate degree from Pepperdine University School of Law. While in law school, Jim also received a certificate in dispute resolution from the Strauss Institute.
Jim was hired as an attorney for the City of Thousand Oaks in 1994. After five years of legal practice, he moved into public administration as a Deputy City Manager for the City of Thousand Oaks.
In 2003, Jim was selected to be an Assistant General Manager for the Conejo Recreation and Park District. Upon the retirement of Tex Ward in 2006, Jim became the Park District's third General Manager in its 56-year history.
In addition to his work as GM, he participates in various other organizations, professional associations and nonprofits.
Jim has written no books, though he has Tweeted quite a few times. He is married to Tracy – an attorney, mom and volunteer. When their four kids were young he spent many years coaching youth sports. Now that the kids are young adults, they are getting more independent and more tattoos with each passing year. So Jim is now pursing his passion of hiking and biking in the local mountains and soaking in the wonders of our natural world.
