Teresa Scott was crowned “Queen of the Hill” for 2014-15, at a Palos Verdes Chamber of Commerce “Coronation Ceremony” on Nov 22nd at The Promenade on the Peninsula (note white and blue sash). She is on the Chamber’s Board of Directors and serves as Vice Chair of Membership.
This award is given annually by the Chamber to the winner of a 2-month fund-raising contest for a local nonprofit organization. The winner, who is not announced until the ceremony, represents this nonprofit organization and the Peninsula community at local events. Candidates and their sponsoring organizations raise funds and get exposure for the organizations’ programs and services. Each candidate’s net revenue goes 80% to the sponsoring organization and 20% to the Chamber to support its many business programs.
Teresa raised over $13,000 for Community’s Child, an organization in Lomita that transitions homeless and disadvantaged women and children into valued and contributing members of the community. It provides healthy alternatives for safe living environments, and training and education to end poverty, neglect, abuse, addictions and hopelessness. She felt well supported by the community when asking people for favors. (Other candidates raised funds for Toberman Neighborhood Center and The San Pedro & Peninsula YMCA and Peninsula Seniors.)
Teresa Scott works for HQ/Regus Rolling Hills Estates business center in the Twin Towers building at 609 Deep Valley Dr in Rolling Hills. Regus also has offices in San Pedro and Gardena, and 3,000 locations in 900 cities in 120 countries. Regus provides temporary ready-to-move-in office space for urgent business expansion or coping with unexpected ma-jor business disruptions, as well as part-time or virtual office services, meeting rooms, drop-in business lounges away from home, and videoconferencing.
