Rancho Palos Verdes Resident to Chair Countywide Probation Commission
Gabriella Holt of Rancho Palos Verdes has been re-elected to serve a second term as President of the Los Angeles County Probation Commission. Holt has served as Supervisor Don Knabe’s appointee to the Commission since May 2002.
Gabriella is a passionate advocate for the health, education and welfare of all children in Los Angeles County, said Supervisor Knabe. Her advocacy efforts to pursue opportunities for our at-risk and probation youth will enable them to leave the juvenile justice system, return to their families and be redirected back into their communities.
Prior to her to election as President of the Probation Commission, Ms. Holt served two terms as a member of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District Board of Education. Presently, she is the General Manager of Rancho Palos Verdes City Television, Channel 33.
The Probation Commission is authorized to act in an advisory capacity to the Chief Probation Officer and brings expertise from the community and private sector. The Commission also supports multi-agency interaction with families and juveniles in the system and serves as an advocate for an effective Juvenile Justice System.
