1:00 PM, Tuesday, November 16 – “Challenges and Opportunities facing the City of Claremont” on Zoom*
Speaker: Claremont City Mayor Jennifer Stark
Mayor Jennifer Stark is serving her first term on the Claremont City Council (November 2018 – November 2022) following the 2018 mid-term elections in which she was the top vote-getter among three new council members.
Jennifer’s commitment to serving the community of Claremont is rooted in her appreciation for those who have served before her. Jennifer was born and raised in Claremont, and she and her husband David Berke have raised their three children here. A product of Claremont’s public schools herself, Jennifer spent countless hours over several decades volunteering in them as a parent. In addition to her community service work, Jennifer teaches yoga at Pomona College. She is an alumna of Pitzer College.
Mayor Stark has served as a Traffic and Transportation commissioner and as a member of the boards of Claremont Heritage and Friends of the Claremont Library. She volunteers for Sustainable Claremont as a Certified Tree Steward and is a proud member of the League of Women Voters, the Democratic Club of Claremont, Kiwanis Club, and the University Club. She is exceptionally honored to be a founder of Claremont Canopy, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help refugees thrive in their new communities.
