Sharona Nazarian made history as the first Iranian American woman to serve as the mayor of Beverly Hills. As she wraps up her first mayoral term, she sees her time in office not as one of segmenting the population, but of bringing the community together in unity.
“I am proud to be a first, but my responsibility has always been to serve the entire community,” she told the Courier in an interview as she prepares to leave the office of mayor. “Leadership is about listening. It is about collaboration, working together and making sure every voice is heard.”
