Challis Macpherson was presented a certificate of appreciation from the State of California and signed by Councilman Mike Bonin. It was presented by members of the Venice Neighborhood Council 21 July via Skype to Macpherson who was at home.
Macpherson made a difference in the community. Just her PVJOBS program found 3000 at-risk youth employment and a chance. Her certificate read:

On behalf of the City of Los Angeles, I am pleased to extend my appreciation to Challis Macpherson for her tireless efforts and dedication as an active advocate of the Venice community. Her involvement in the formation of the original Venice Town Council as well as the Venice Neighborhood Council have been a true pillar to Venice. While serving on the Neighborhood Council, she chaired the Land Use and Planning Committee and worked to develop Plan Check.
In addition, she is a founder of PVJOBS which helps place at-risk youth and adults in career-track employment. Thank you for your devotion and helping make Venice a better place to work, live and play.
