Mayor Carmen Cave

Carmen Cave is a recognized leader throughout the county for her resolve and commitment to ensuring Aliso Viejo remains a strong and viable community. As the co-founder and former president of the Cityhood Committee, Carmen was successful in bringing a fiscally responsible cityhood plan to voters and was the driving force behind the incorporation drive for Orange County’s 34th city. In fact, Senator Dick Ackerman honored Carmen for her efforts with the 2008 Woman of the Year Award for the 33rd District.

Proudly serving as the City’s first Mayor upon incorporation on July 1, 2001, Carmen served again as Mayor again in 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2013.

She serves as an alternate board member for the San Joaquin Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) and Transportation Corridor System. Carmen serves the City on the Aliso Creek Watershed Committee and on the South Orange County Watershed Management Area. This Council Member brings a wealth of professional experience to the table. She has extensive experience in the social service field; land-use planning; and commercial development. Carmen is currently working as Planning Director for the City of Menifee, which incorporated on Oct. 1, 2008 as Riverside County’s 26th city.
