Beverly Hills has a wonderful past - full of history and tradition. I am looking forward to working hard to ensure its future.
Beverly Hills is my hometown - and my community. I grew up on South Maple Drive and my husband, Jon, and I raised our family here. As the only child of Holocaust survivors, the values of community and public service are foundations in my life.
Over the years, I have served Beverly Hills in several leadership roles - Mayor and City Council; City commissions; civic and religious committees and boards; PTA and BHEF. I believe that our community values my accessibility, work ethic, grasp of the issues and level of preparation.
Hon. Lili Bosse has served as Mayor three times and has been on the City Council since 2011. During her 2022 term as Mayor, Ms. Bosse spearheaded numerous initiatives surrounding public safety such as the City’s Real Time Watch Center that monitors the camera and drone surveillance network 24 hours a day and BHPDalert, a text and email program that keeps the community informed on police activity.
Ms. Bosse has always been passionate about community and creating opportunities to listen and hear from those who live, work and visit Beverly Hills. In 2022, her 'Business with Bosse' initiative highlighted businesses across Beverly Hills by inviting community members to meet at various locations throughout the city. She also hosted public events focused on wellness with Deepak Chopra and Edith Eger and live town-hall style meetings known as LIVE WITH LILI to hear directly from the community on their suggestions and ideas.
Ms. Bosse is the daughter of Holocaust survivors and has spoken out about antisemitism around the globe. She has been the leading voice condemning anti-Semitic behavior and hate of all kind, speaking on numerous occasions to local and national news outlets about anti-Semitic events that have occurred in Beverly Hills. In December 2022, she was invited to be a guest speaker on the Dr. Phil Show discussing antisemitism and the damage it does to society.
She attended the 2022 Antisemitism Summit in Athens, Greece, joining municipal leaders from 53 cities and 23 countries to sign a historic declaration committing to “fight antisemitism in all its manifestations” by cooperating in the areas of education, raising awareness and promoting interfaith relations.
In 2014, Ms. Bosse co-founded Visionary Women, a nonprofit organization that promotes women in leadership positions. She currently serves on the Executive Board. Additionally, Ms. Bosse is a fellow of Vital Voices, an organization that invests in women in leadership taking on world challenges.
Throughout the past years, Ms. Bosse has been awarded numerous accolades recognizing her leadership such as: the ‘Visionary Award’ by the Israeli American Civic Action Network; Fred Hayman Visionary Award; Spirit of Philanthropy Award by the Beverly Hills Education Foundation; the Women of Achievement Award by the Sheba Medical Center; the 2023 Woman of the Year “Shamsi Hekmat Award” by the Iranian Jewish Women’s Organization and has been honored as the recipient of Beth Jacob Synagogue’s first Distinguished Leadership Award. In March 2023, she was featured on the cover of the Jewish Journal for her leadership fighting antisemitism and as a human rights advocate.
