Leonore is a retired professional with a diverse background in banking, property management, and legal administration. She holds an AA in Business Management and is a PCAM (Professional Community Association Manager) through the Community Associations Institute.

Leonore has a strong commitment to community service. She served as a Better Business Bureau arbitrator for 4 years and treasurer of the Program and Trade Show committees of the San Diego Chapter of Community Association Institute for 18 years. She also worked on the Y2K Project at Mesa College and is a literacy tutor with her local public library.

She has been the secretary of the Elder Law & Advocacy Board since 1999, drawn to the organization’s mission after her experience as an onsite manager of an age-restricted HOA where she saw the issues seniors face.

In her retirement, Leonore enjoys reading, quilting, cooking and baking, particularly for her sweet tooth.

As the onsite manager of an age restricted HOA, I saw and experienced first hand the many issues that seniors had to deal with. They are often the forgotten members of society and suffer in silence. By being on the Board of ELA I believe that in some small way I can assist them in gaining a better life for their remaining years.
