AltaSea is proud to announce the newest member of our board of directors
Cynthia Hirschhorn officially joined the AltaSea board of directors on July 26, 2018. Cynthia is an environmental designer and advocate for healthy civic life and believes in aligning missions to amplify resources for more impact at the civic scale. Cynthia founded Unycyn Civic Arts to inspire more harmonious civic environments by connecting numerous individual visions, just as many voices in “unison” sync to make harmonious sounds.
Cynthia is proud to serve on the boards of RiverLA and AltaSea to which she brings her passions for public art, community gardens & water resiliency, and ProCon.org & Action Civics CA which promote civic education and engagement for students of all ages. She created and curates flowproject.la, a resource platform connecting civic arts and education partnerships, programs and projects support water resiliency, as well as civicas.net a women’s civic leadership network. Her non-profit Unycyn Civic Arts supports civic health and beautification through public art, urban gardens and “the art of being civic”.
Cynthia developed and implemented a successful fundraising and community building platform for parents at Harvard-Westlake School, enjoys hosting salons on public health, civic art and the LA River, leading garden tours and urban explorations, and organizing events celebrating community. A native of Los Angeles, Cynthia attended Yale College, and has a BA in Cultural History and a Masters in Architecture from UCLA. She and her husband Charles have three adult children, live in Pacific Palisades and love to travel.
Please join AltaSea and Cynthia Hirschhorn on October 20th.
