Valerie Davis spent 23 years as an executive assistant in several Long Beach city departments, including Long Beach Police, Special Events and Filming, and most recently, Parks, Recreation and Marine. She loved working with her fellow employees, the volunteers and the community, and so when she “retired,” she made giving back to them part of her new career. In September, Long Beach Animal Care Services will be the beneficiary of an ongoing fundraiser she organized.
