The LA 2024 Board of Directors has some familiar faces.

And then there were two.

Thankfully, It’s down to Paris and Los Angeles for possible hosts of the 2024 Olympics and Paralympic Games. Accordingly, Los Angeles is pulling from its diverse group of entertainers, sports figures, educators, philanthropists, and business men and women to head up it’s Board of Directors.

Also, LA 2024, the non-profit organization in charge of bringing the games to Los Angeles, announced on Thursday a diverse group of individuals chosen to “serve the Olympic Movement in 2024 and beyond.”
