Hire Date: June 26, 2017

Rachel Pearlman, Executive Assistant/Board Secretary

I serve as the Executive Assistant and Board Secretary for the Groveland Community Services District (GCSD), which provides essential services including water distribution, sewer collection, fire and emergency response, and parks and recreation. Since joining the District in June 2017, I have been honored to support an organization dedicated to serving our community with integrity and excellence.

In my role, I provide high-level, confidential administrative support to the General Manager and Board of Directors. My responsibilities include preparing Board meeting agendas and materials, recording and transcribing meeting minutes, maintaining official District records, and serving as the liaison between the Board, District Departments Heads, and external agencies. I also assist with the development and distribution of public information materials, coordinate interdepartmental activities, and provide information and assistance to the public regarding District policies and procedures.

I was raised in Truckee, California, and moved to Groveland in 2000 to work as a firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service. Having lived here for over 20 years, I have a deep appreciation for small-town life and the sense of community it brings. I am a proud wife of 23 years and mother to a wonderful daughter, now 21.

Outside of work, my family and I share a love for the ocean, we are all Open Water Scuba Certified Divers and seize every opportunity to explore the Caribbean and travel abroad. When I eventually retire, you’ll likely find me on a warm beach somewhere south of the equator. I also enjoy gardening, lake days, snowboarding, cooking, board games, binge-worthy series, and most of all, spending time with family and friends.
