Forest Lawn Memorial-Park Association appointed R. Scott Jenkins to the role of chairman of the board.
Jenkins has served on the board of directors of Forest Lawn Memorial-Park Association since 2003 and assumes this role following the death of John F. Llewellyn, former Forest Lawn Memorial-Park Association board chairman in April.
“We are thrilled that Scott is stepping into the role of chairman after so many years of generous service to Forest Lawn,” said Darin B. Drabing, president and chief executive officer of Forest Lawn.
A San Marino resident, Jenkins is an attorney and partner at Hahn & Hann LLP in Pasadena, where he has worked since 1985. His practice involves general business matters and real estate, with a specialty in land use.
Jenkins is a graduate of the University of Southern California, where he earned his J.D., previously graduating with honors from the University of Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts in economics.
Active in the community, Jenkins serves on the boards of directors for Huntington Memorial Hospital and Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association (past president). He is also a past president of the San Marino School Board and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Jenkins is active with San Marino Community Church, where is an elder and past president of the Church Foundation.
Jenkins has been honored with awards from the Pasadena Senior Center and San Marino Unified School District and was named San Marino Citizen of the Year in 2002. He and his wife have two grown children and two grandchildren.

Daddy’s Chicken Shack set for expansion
Daddy’s Chicken Shack signed a regional developer deal to expand to California.
Restaurant operators Blair Salisbury and Robin Bieker signed a 20-unit regional developer deal in the concept’s home state of California.
The duo also owns El Cholo in Pasadena.
Looking to open their first restaurant by year-end, Salisbury and Bieker are eyeing real estate in Santa Clarita and elsewhere throughout Los Angeles County.
“I’ve been in the restaurant industry for as long as I can remember with four generations of restaurant ownership in my family,” Salisbury said.
Salisbury’s family established El Cholo in California, while Bieker has 30 years’ experience in the restaurant franchise and commercial real estate fields.
The two joined forces after Bieker became a primary investor in El Cholo and are now committed to Daddy’s Chicken Shack.
