The Los Angeles Urban League (LAUL) Thursday announced the  appointment of Pamela Bakewell-Griggs to the post of Chief Neighborhood  Officer (CNO) beginning April 1. In her new position, Bakewell-Griggs  will be responsible for overseeing the Leagues Neighborhood Initiatives  Office and executing the Neighborhoods@Work program.
Launched in  December 2007, the Neighborhoods@Work initiative is a five-year plan  designed to revitalize the South Los Angeles area one neighborhood at a  time. The strategic plan focuses on five key areas of improvement:  education, employment, health, housing and safety.  The first  neighborhood to be transformed by the initiative is the 70-block Park  Mesa Heights area surrounding Crenshaw High School.  In the future, the  League envisions the plan will serve as a model for initiating change in  other urban neighborhoods across the region.
LAUL president and  CEO, Blair Taylor said, Pamela will join the L. A. Urban League as a  force for change.
Interim Chief Neighborhood Officer Anthony  Maddox, will move into the LAUL Chief of Staff position.
