Analysis:
The Human Relations Task Force (HRTF) was formed in April 1997, with a mission to "promote and
celebrate diversity in our community through education and understanding." Currently the HRTF
has one vacancy due to an unscheduled resignation.
The vacancy was noticed on the City's website and the posting boards at City Hall and the Central
Library. As a result of this process, and interviews held by the City Council liaisons, the following
individual is being recommended for appointment:
Natalie Moser — Ms. Moser has been a resident of Huntington Beach for 38 years. She graduated
from Marina High School, has a Bachelor of Arts in History from California State Long Beach, and a
Masters in Business Administration from Chapman University. While owning her own photography
company and teaching Yoga, she has also served as a founding board member of the McKenna
Claire Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, a PTO member at Circle View School, as well as a
public/inspirational speaker of breast cancer for the California Life Science Association. When
asked why she wishes to serve on the HRTF, she responded that she cares deeply about equality
for all and feels compelled to get involved as a life-long resident of our city.
