About Neighborhood Advisory Group (NAG)

The Neighborhood Advisory Group (NAG) was founded in 2002 to improve the standard of living in the South Wrigley area of Long Beach with a special focus on improving the business climate in Wrigley Village (Pacific Avenue from PCH to Willow). This grassroots organization organizes several monthly meetings including coordinating the Neighborhood Improvement Strategy (NIS) meetings with the city and hosts quarterly clean ups in addition to other projects as they arise. Monthly NAG meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Community Center at 2023 Pacific Avenue and monthly NIS meetings are held at Lafayette Elementary on the 2nd Thursday of the month.

At our last NAG meeting I asked the membership for approval to step down from the Chairman's position and for Warren Wisner, one of NAG's founding members, to take over the role of Chairman. The membership approved this unanimously and I am pleased to pass the torch to such an intelligent and dedicated individual such as Warren . I will continue to be involved in NAG but due to my responsibilities to my family, my job and my other volunteer endeavors I felt I could no longer continue to lead this group at the high level that our dedicated membership rightfully demands and expects. Thank you to everyone who has assisted me during my period as the leader of this organization that has and will continue to accomplish much in improving our community.

We have much to be proud of and a lot of work yet to do, Warren will pick up where I left off and hopes to see through to completion the street scape improvements in Wrigley Village, the formation of a powerful business improvement district, the continued revitalization of Henderson and a return of safety and security to our neighbors on Pine and its surrounding blocks which have been plagued with gang violence in the past. Please offer your time and expertise to help Warren achieve these goals for together we can do anything.

Thank you for your support.
