Marianne Reifer
Hi my name is Marianne Reifer and while I have only lived in Sunset Beach for three years, my love for this community runs deep. My visits to my grandparent’s place on North Pacific when I was young are some of my fondest memories.
I have enjoyed volunteering at several community events since I have moved to Sunset Beach, including the Mother’s Day Art Festival and Chili Cookoff. I am passionate about running for the Sunset Beach Community Association (SBCA) board to help preserve Sunset Beach’s unique community and traditions.
I graduated from Chapman University with a degree in Journalism and have gained advertising, marketing, and extensive writing experience in my career after college.
Three years ago I decided to make a change and started working for a small nonprofit in downtown Los Angeles that provides health and stability for homeless and extremely low-income families and individuals.
I know my education, work experience and most importantly, my passion for Sunset Beach would make me a great candidate for the SBCA board. Thank you for your consideration!
