Meet Mayor Pro-Tem MARSHA MCLEAN

|
 |
A long-time resident and local business owner in the Santa Clarita Valley, Marsha McLean is currently serving as Mayor Pro Tem in the City of Santa Clarita.
As a council member, Marsha is committed to working with the community to protect the environment and quality of life for our residents.
Marsha is the founder of the S.C.V. Canyons |
Preservation Committee which successfully co-sponsored legislation to acquire funds for the preservation of Whitney and Elsmere Canyons. She also rallied citizens, business organizations, environmental groups and state and federal legislators to save Santa Clarita from being home to the world's largest garbage dump that would have been seen from our valley floor and would have loomed over the ridgelines of Elsmere Canyon to one and one half times the height of the Washington Monument.
Over the years, Marsha has served the community in a number of ways. As a Program Analyst for special projects for the City of Santa Clarita, Marsha monitored and provided legislative information to City staff and assisted in grant writing. Prior to her work at the City, Marsha worked for the Los Angeles Police Department and for the Los Angeles City Council.
Marsha has also worked for the U.S. Government at the American Embassies in Tel Aviv, Israel and Paris, France. After learning to speak French, Marsha served as a liaison with French citizens as well as coordinating programs and solving problems that came about. She continues to apply her government expertise to aid the local community today by serving as a member of the Regional Council of Southern California Association of Governments.
Marsha is a member of the Board of Directors for the State League of California Cities and was elected to serve as the 2007-2008 President of the organization’s Los Angeles County Division. Understanding the need for enhanced, regional transportation, she is also a Director for the Regional Orangeline-Maglev Development Authority, and serves as Transportation Committee member for the Southern California Association of Governments. She is also a member of the Golden State Gateway Coalition, the Southern California Association of Governments Transportation and Communications Committee, and serves as the City’s representative on the North County Transportation Coalition.
Marsha is a member of the League of California Cities Community Services Policy Committee and served as Committee Chairperson from 2006-2008. She has served on the State League of California Cities Transportation, Communication and Public Works Policy Committee.
Marsha was selected to serve on the Public Library Commission for the Fifth District. As Public Library Commissioner, Councilmember McLean advises the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the County Librarian on matters of library policy.
Over many years Marsha has volunteered her time for a myriad of non-profit, community organizations such as: the Placerita Nature Center Foundation, the Advisory Boards of the Child & Family Center Foundation and the Betty Ferguson Foundation; the American Heart Association, the Committee on Aging, the Boys and Girls Club, Canyon Country Better Than Ever Committee, Santa Clarita Historical Society, Habitat for Humanity and Downtown Newhall Revitalization to name a few.
When she is not busy at City Hall or with one of her committees, Marsha can be found enjoying other interests which include community theatre at the Canyon Theatre Guild, tap dancing, snow and water skiing, bicycle riding, hiking, walking and spending time with her family and at local charity events.
Family is important to Marsha who has been married for 30 years, has three children and six grandchildren.
