organizations like c.j. c.j. and m-3 as well as the developers to provide solar training to young adults. i want to phone call on m-3 today ways that is the community based organization that's a 501-c 3 a that's done some i didn't believe work in san francisco providing a mostly breakfast to people who are looking for a beacon of light to contribution from their challenges of what they've been exercising and we're presiding u providing a resource whether its job training or other services. i am could you today because my peers would like me to resubmit my application to continue to be the chair and with this i think

it's great. a couple of thoughts as we the red directorship work with the organizations. i think one of the things we listen to orchestras and foud what their needs are and taking those recommendations back and presenting under no circumstances those to the committee. it's been a big challenge over the years because we should focus a little bit more on increasing the communication with that organization which is responsible for the federal dollars that are coming down the pike. with that said i'll to continue to co-chair the y came back. we've been getting a lot of transaction particle with collaborating with the youssef and community based organizations and will be glad

to continue to serve on the w came back >> thank you. any questions. >> supervisor breed. >> how many years were you on the y came back. >> one year. >> can you talk about your accomplishments. >> we have done some off site workshops and think tangz if you will to better develop the communication as a consultant, if you will, to the youssef. that's been a big part of what we needed to do on the y came back. some of the other things we've done is listen to the community based organizations in a way that we could go back and make and present those recommendations to the i sever. so - >> what's in one sentence

what is working well, so the best practices can be utilized by other community based organizations >> thank you. let's see the next person here is dionne. and are you speaking for - >> good afternoon my name is tim waters i'm the program director for the young community. mr. dionne can't make it here today but asked if i would if it's okay with you to share a statement >> absolutely. >> thank you. first and foremost i'd like to apologize that i'm before you today. supervisor yee and supervisor breed and 0 supervisor cowen it's truly an honor to be
