Welcome! 

Greeting Arizona Code Professionals!!!

I am very excited and honored to be serve as this year’s President for the Code Enforcement League of Arizona! I know I’ve had the opportunity to meet many of you at our past conferences and in our CELA Academies as an instructor, but for those who I haven’t, I am currently the Interim Code  Compliance Manager for the City of Avondale Code Compliance Division. I have also worked with great organizations such the City of Glendale and Maricopa County Planning & Development.

Prior to my code enforcement career, I have also worked as a Detention Officer for Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and  Glendale Police Department. As a member of CELA since 2011, I have enjoyed the great training opportunities, networking, and the promoting of our profession that CELA has been able to offer.

The Board of Directors wants to continue this tradition and continue to excel in growing our organization. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our board members for this year. Your 1st Vice-President is Victor Martinez with the City of Apache Junction. Victor will also be this year’s AACE President! Your 2nd Vice-President is Frank Alvino with the Town of Gilbert, 3rd Vice-President is Eric Hannah with the City of Peoria, Secretary is Alyssa Yanez with the City of Scottsdale, Treasurer is Martha Ortiz with the City of Avondale, and Past President is Lupe Laborin with the City of Goodyear. I am very honored and proud to be working alongside these outstanding and dedicated professionals!

The Board Members will be meeting this month to begin planning this year’s upcoming CELA Code Enforcement Academies and Conferences. Please look for upcoming emails and visit our website for the most up to date information. The Board of Directors appreciates your continued support of our organization and welcomes new ideas and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. 

Let’s make 2024 CELA’s best year yet!!!!

Sincerely,

Joshua Perez
