About LCA

The history of the Ladera Community Association (LCA) dates back to Ladera's origin as a coop. The LCA was founded in 1951.

The LCA provides our residents with a unified voice in dealing with a variety of issues. Some current and past examples include zoning regulation changes, supporting the use of the 94028 zip code with the post office, representing Ladera in negotiations on garbage collection contracts, Country Shopper issues, and a variety of other issues If an issue is particularly important or controversial, we take a vote from the residents.

 

The LCA board consists of 9 elected members and one student member. The elected members of the board serve 3 year terms and the student member serves a 1 year term. Annually the board selects among its members a President, Vice President, and Treasurer. Board meetings are monthly, generally the first Wednesday of every month at 7:30 P.M. at Ladera Rec.

 

The LCA collects dues from its members annually. These are generally paid at the time of the annual directory information drive and entitle each member to one directory.
