MEET THE CANDIDATES
I have grown up in the Pocket/Greenhaven area and would like to give back to my community. I have seen the PGCA grow in the past few years and want to keep the momentum going. Would like to know the open positions, but happy to help where needed. Thanks!
~Lauren Goff
I am a long-time Pocket resident (since 2007), have raised my child in neighborhood schools, participated in community and local transit and community development meetings, and work as an education leader for the state. This background provides me with both an intimate familiarity with issues confronting residents and knowledge of resources and networks to problem-solve.

Hi, I’m Zane – a communications and strategy professional who moved to Pocket / Greenhaven in 2023 with my partner. We have a wonderful cat named Snickerdoodle. Our neighborhood is a special place, but there is a need for continued maintenance and investment. Building community relationships and advocating for resources is something I look forward to as a member of the Board.
~ Zane Rice
I’m (relatively) new to Sacramento but have fallen head over heels for this city and absolutely adore PG (I live on Riverside). I work as a COO / Executive Producer in the video game industry and can offer a dedication to organization & team building as well as an insistence on clear and open communication. I’m passionate about learning all the cool / fun things in the neighborhood (and sharing them)! I’m running for a Board Member position because I care deeply about public safety and the future of the Greenhaven community.
