Our Framework

The PACE Administration

Every decision, every initiative, every conversation — guided by four core pillars that shape how the Pine Hills Community Council shows up for our community every single day.

P Participation

Every Voice Matters

Every resident's voice matters. We create space for the community to engage, be heard, and take part in shaping Pine Hills. Civic power begins with showing up — and we make it possible for everyone to do so.

A Accessibility

Open Doors for All

Expanding access to resources, government, and opportunities for every family in our neighborhood. No resident should be left behind due to barriers of language, geography, or circumstance.

C Collaboration

Stronger Together

Uniting residents, businesses, and organizations to achieve measurable results and lasting impact. The challenges facing Pine Hills are bigger than any one person — and so are the solutions we build together.

E Excellence

The Highest Standard

Holding ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and service in all that we do. Pine Hills deserves leaders who lead with honor — and we are committed to that call.

Setting The PACE!
Inaugural Address of PHCC President Julien Serrano-O’Neil, ACNP

In his Inaugural Address, PHCC President Julien Serrano-O’Neil reflects on the Council’s legacy, responsibility, and future as he begins his term as the youngest president in its history. Grounded in the words of Dr. Benjamin E. Mays and more than five decades of civic leadership in Pine Hills, the address honors the Council’s founding, recognizes past and present leaders, and challenges incomplete narratives about the community. President Serrano-O’Neil introduces his administration’s guiding framework, P.A.C.E. Participation, Accessibility, Collaboration, and Excellence, as both a call to action and an open invitation for the community to move forward together.
