Hillcrest CEO Matthew Neeley Recognized as Outstanding Community Leader for Compassionate Leadership and Community Service
LA VERNE, Calif., May 30, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Matthew Neeley, President and CEO of Hillcrest, an age-qualified community in La Verne, was recently honored as an Outstanding Community Leader at the NAACP Pomona Valley Branch 6th Annual Freedom Fund Event. Through his compassionate leadership and steadfast commitment to serving others, Neeley has led efforts that uplift individuals, bridge divides and build a stronger, more inclusive community. 'We celebrate Matthew Neeley for his dedicated service to the city of Pomona and surrounding communities and honor him for his compassion, generosity, and commitment to serving our community,' said Jeanette EllisRoyston, President of the NAACP Pomona Valley Branch. This philosophy of service was evident during Hillcrest's rapid response to the Eaton Fire, which displaced senior residents from The Terraces at Park Marino. Upon receiving a call for assistance, Neeley and his team mobilized within 24 hours to prepare fully furnished, move-in-ready apartments. The displaced seniors were welcomed into the Hillcrest community with care and dignity. 'A great community leader clears the runway for meaningful change, ensuring that good things happen for those in need,' said Neeley. 'If each of us uses the influence we have in service of others, we will create stronger, more connected communities.' In another act of compassionate leadership, Neeley responded to the urgent needs of an Afghan refugee family—providing a safe home on the Hillcrest campus and rallying local faith communities to help them transition to life in the U.S. Today, the children are thriving in school and the parents are employed in their new community. During a moment of national reckoning in 2020, Neeley listened as a Hillcrest resident shared her sorrow in the wake of George Floyd's murder, recalling decades of civil rights struggles. Deeply moved, he wrote a poem that expressed solidarity and hope, which sparked meaningful conversations within the Hillcrest community. He later shared a public letter with 35 peer CEOs, encouraging empathy-driven leadership and continued progress toward equity and understanding. This spirit of unity led to new internal initiatives that continue to foster cultural awareness and dialogue at Hillcrest today. 'Caring for others in times of crisis is at the heart of Hillcrest's mission,' said Neeley. 'We don't just serve our own residents—we serve the larger community as well.' About Hillcrest Hillcrest is an upscale 501(c)(3) nonprofit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) centrally located in the San Gabriel Valley, less than 30 minutes from Los Angeles, Anaheim, Pasadena and San Bernardino and located at the gateway to the Inland Empire.

Greene Tree Care Helps Ventura County Residents Prepare for Wildfire Season with Defensible Space Services
- With insurance cancellations on the rise and the June 1 defensible space deadline approaching, the certified arborists at Greene Tree Care ramp up fire clearance operations and community outreach - VENTURA, Calif., May 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Throughout Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, property owners face dual threats: wildfires and insurance cancellations. In an effort to help their clients manage both, Greene Tree Care — a family-owned business headquartered in Camarillo, California — has expanded its defensible space services. Homeowners, HOA managers, and estate and commercial property owners can access these services by calling the Greene Tree Care team. The company is accepting urgent requests for the removal of high-risk trees and brush. They aim to help property owners as insurance providers threaten non-renewals, summer temperatures climb, and Ventura and Los Angeles Counties approach their June 1 Defensible Space deadlines. 'We're seeing more and more homeowners caught off guard by insurance letters demanding immediate action,' Leigh Fleming, Owner at Greene Tree Care, explains. 'The key is proactive, professional maintenance — not just for compliance, but to truly protect homes, families, and communities.' The Greene Tree Care team is led by certified arborists. The company has more than 30 years of experience and is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. This helps property owners offset concerns from their own insurance providers. It also helps them keep compliance with Ventura County Fire Code Chapter 49, which requires a defensible space of 100 feet from structures and 10 feet from roads. This defensible space slows the spread of wildfire and protects structures, making it a key part of local wildfire mitigation efforts. Property owners who are unsure if they're in compliance and have protected their property can request an inspection through . In some cases, property owners can even use the inspection as proof of a hazard being resolved, enabling them to reinstate insurance coverage. Leveraging that inspection report or their own expertise — and backed by Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping — the Greene Tree Care team helps property owners make sound decisions. Their certified arborists are knowledgeable about local vegetation and wildfire conditions and specialize in high-risk removals. They may recommend the removal of species like eucalyptus, pine, and palm, for example, which all pose higher risks and are often flagged by insurance companies. Greene Tree Care has the experience and tools needed to help property owners understand — and best manage — their wildfire risk. Greene Tree Care serves areas throughout Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, including Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Oak Park, and the surrounding Conejo Valley neighborhoods. Anyone from a homeowner to the owner of an estate to the manager of an HOA can turn to Greene Tree Care for a long-term partner to help manage their property. To schedule a free estimate, call the team at (805) 484-9900. Or to learn more about the available services, including land clearing for fire safety , visit . About Greene Tree Care: Greene Tree Care established a reputation for providing truly professional tree service more than 30 years ago.
