Dick Fay (Candidate)

I have lived in Palos Verdes Estates for over 30 years and have dick-faymoved in twice, once in the early 70’s to Lunada Bay and then in 2008 to Montemalaga.

After graduation from Duke University I began my career with the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), holding various technical, supervisory and management positions until retiring in 1998. For several years I served as ARCO’s representative on the Board of Directors of joint venture pipeline companies and served as President of two of them.

Following my retirement I was a managing partner in the start up and management of a successful web site development company which was sold in 2015.

I have been a member of the Palos Verdes Golf Club for over 25 years and have volunteered in various capacities, including serving as Handicap Chair for several years. I have also been active in Little League and AYSO soccer.

My wife and I live on Granvia Altamira. My two grown children attended Palos Verdes public schools from kindergarten through high school. My son, a cross-country runner, spent countless hours running the trails. My daughter, and now her family, still likes to walk the parkland and enjoy the spectacular ocean views.

Dick Fay – Candidate Statement:

“I am running because PVHA needs new leadership. The Board sold parkland in a deal kept hidden from the public and since ruled illegal. Despite strong community opposition the Board is participating in an appeal. This election gives the membership a chance to actually be heard. Past elections have had only five names for five positions on the official ballot, quorums rarely achieved , and the Board re-selecting themselves. A majority of the current Board was selected, never elected. Its time for new leadership that will protect the parkland, be transparent in its dealings, and listen to the public.”
