Meet The Council New President!

Message from President Patricia Rumph..

On January 7, 2020, I took an oath and pledged to do my utmost to faithfully represent the needs and opportunities of the Pine Hills Community, and to fulfill my duties and responsibilities in a trustworthy manner, in my elected capacity as Presiident of the Pine Hills Community Council, Incorporated as it strives to preserve a clean, safe and prosperous community. I am incredibly honored to be serving as President of Pine Hills Community Council (PHCC) and to lead an organization that has contributed so much to Orange County and the community.  
 
A proud native of Orange County, FL, my journey of serving and giving back to my community began over 30 years ago with my professional public servant career and experience in administration, fiscal management, human resource management and public safety.   I believed that my experience would bring new ideas to the Council, so I did not hesitate to join PHCC after attending my first meetings in 2014.
 
Now I am thrilled to work closely with the Board of Directors of Pine Hills Community Council; an organization with a proud past and an exciting future.
 
An organization’s impact is limited by awareness.   In 2020, we, Pine Hills Community Council, will continue to create awareness and advocate for a stronger community by addressing – policy options and recommendations to promote opportunity and equality, affordable housing gap, public transportation needs, and sustainable infrastructure to improve economic opportunities in Pine Hills.  Through special initiatives we will cultivate programs and collaborate with organizations and local, state and federal government whose efforts are aligned with our goals for a healthy safe Pine Hills to live, work and play.
 
I know that we cannot accomplish our goal by only convincing each other; instead we have to reach out and enter into ours and other communities and network.  Whether it’s your time, talent, and/or treasure, giving back can be one of life’s greatest reward.   Can we count on you – the contemporary, urban, conservative, millennial, students, seniors, businesses, homeowners associations, and faith based organizations to join with us and help to build a much stronger Pine Hills?

I am committed to the care and enrichment of Pine Hills community and passionately believe that by working together, we can build a stronger Pine Hills.  I look forward to meeting you around town and at events as we work together to make the Pine Hills community thrive and realize its full potential.
 
With deep gratitude
Patricia
