*By Daily Press staff*

A Santa Monica resident and former Los Angeles Business Journal columnist has joined the board of directors for the Variety Boys’ and Girls’ Club in Boyle Heights.

Mel Poteshman, a retired partner of the West L.A. certified public accounting and business consulting firm, Levine, Cooper, Spiegel & Co., frequented the clubs when he was a child.

“Growing up, I spent many an afternoon in the club’s after school programs,” Poteshman said in a press release. “I have very fond memories and truly believe that they did me a great service back then.”
