HOLLYWOOD, CA — Councilwoman Nithya Raman announced Monday that Najeeba Syeed will serve as her new chief of staff. Syeed had previously been a senior advisor, and will replace Meghan Choi and Jessica Salans who had shared the position until now.
"I am honored to accept the position of Chief of Staff in Councilmember Nithya Raman's office," Syeed said. "I could not have asked for better partners than Jess and Meghan during this transition."
Syeed is currently an associate professor of Muslim and Interreligious Studies at Chicago Theological Seminary. She also directs the Center for Global Rebuilding, which focuses on peacebuilding efforts and multifaith reconciliation.
"Jess served as a cornerstone of our campaign and has been similarly integral to setting up our new council office -- and beyond that, she has become a dear friend," Raman said. "I am deeply thankful to her and Meghan Choi for stepping in to serve as a bridge during our very rapid transition to City Hall, which has allowed us to be deliberate in our search for the best possible person to lead our office. With her decades of experience in conflict resolution, civic engagement and building strong government-community partnerships, I am confident we have found that person in Najeeba Syeed."
Choi will serve as Raman's deputy chief of staff and director of organizing, while Salans will leave the office to spend more time with family.
"Working with Nithya has been a highlight of my personal and professional life," Salans said. "I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together through these last two years, and I'm excited to see how our young office continues to grow, evolve, and bring about positive change for our city."
Recently, Raman also announced her District Field Team, who will serve as a contact point between the councilwoman and her various communities.
"Each member of our team possesses the kindness and commitment necessary to serve CD4 residents and bring city government closer to you," Raman said. "Many of them have already gotten to work helping to do so over the past few weeks. I'm beyond excited to have them on the team."
