Major Charlotte Craven

I was truly honored to be one of the first to congratulate and interview the new Major of our city today. Major Craven was just moving into her new office as we met and even apologize for the delayed interview (you ask me - four days after getting the position was fantastic). Major Craven has been an elected member of our Camarillo’s City Council since 1986. This is Charlotte’s fifth term as Major in 20 years, that fact alone shows our appreciation for this incredible leader. She was the recipient of the CASA Individual Achievement Award in 2001 and has made an incredible impact for Affordable Housing within our community. Charlotte lead her fellow Councilmembers with one of Camarillo’s crown jewels, a City Library that we can boast about and hold up next to any of America’s finest. I asked Major Craven what advice she would give the kids of this world? She said “My advice for life is; Do one thing a time, do the best that you can, and do the most important thing first”.

Major Craven was so kind with her time and even put on a “Warrior” tribal outfit and told me the craziest story about how she received it. This is definitely the type of leader our community needs, someone willing to meet anyone exactly where they’re at and willing to laugh along with them.
