San Fernando Valley Chapter Board Elections

Dear ACLU Member:

It is time for our 2024 San Fernando Valley Chapter Board Election. ACLU Chapters are comprised of dedicated volunteers who work in partnership and coordination with ACLU staff to carry out advocacy, outreach, and engagement of local supporters to advance civil rights and liberties in their communities.

On this page, you can read candidate profiles, submit your vote, and, should you opt-in, stay connected with the ACLU of Southern California.

In accordance with our bylaws, ACLU members who reside in the chapter’s region elect Chapter Directors to open Board seats. Candidates are running for three-year terms and the board is composed of staggered terms to allow one-third of the Board to term-out every year.

This election is open to ACLU members only. To verify your eligibility as a member, enter the last three digits of your membership number before submitting your ballot. Given our strong stance on privacy rights, votes are kept in complete anonymity.

Votes must be submitted by Monday, September 30th at 11:59 p.m.

Should you have questions about your membership, this election, or ACLU of Southern California chapters please email activist@aclusocal.org.

Thank you for your continued support,
ACLU of Southern California

Slate of Candidates

Kenneth Ronney
Kenneth Ronney is a 30-year member of the ACLU, past President of the SFV Chapter from 2007 through 2017. He is currently the chapter’s Vice President. “I am a native of Los Angeles, Army veteran and retired engineer. During my engineering career, I had the opportunity to do a lot of business traveling internationally. It was a revelation observing first-hand and talking with my host businessmen and women about the (frequently repressive) politics and political situations outside the U.S. After taking an early retirement, I took up stone sculpting. I am currently very active in the local art community. I have been regularly attending and participating in SFV Chapter and Chapter Council meetings and activities. I have also attended the ACLU’s National and ACLU SoCal Membership Conferences. These various activities have strengthened my resolve and desire to help keep the ACLU SoCal at the cutting edge of civil rights activities.”
