Assemblymember Fran Pavley has named Malibu resident and school district board member Pam Brady as the 41st Assembly District “Woman of the Year.”
Brady was recognized during a special commemoration at the State Capitol last week.

She has served as Santa Monica- Malibu PTA Council president, as the 33rd District PTA President, as well as California State PTA Education Advocate, representing more than 1.2 million members and is currently serving as the California State PTA Vice President of Education.
Brady has served as president of the Los Angeles County’s School Trustees Association, a member of Delegate Assembly and the Board of Directors of the California School Boards Association.
