[applause] excited and happy to be here. good to see all of you. oh, now you're getting quiet? okay all right, even though there's names, let's move on up a little bit more. they should have been here. they lose their seats. i don't even know why we put names on the

seats in this little bitty room. goodness. i don't know how. ramon, get over here! get over here! all right. are we ready? okay. good morning everybody. good morning. wait. good afternoon. it's past noon. every day is monday, and who knows what time it is in any given time. everything is happening. sure. okay, ramon, i'm going to give you a raise. don't worry, first of all, thank you all. so much for being here today. we are really excited to make what is a very from from the perspective of making decisions as mayor. this is an easy one, in fact, i appointed morrell

green, who is the trustee that someone who i've known since we were kids, even though he went to washington high school, i still appointed him, and i appointed him because morrell was very focused on young people and academic achievement, especially for kids of color who grew up like he and i did. and he served in this capacity well and really focused his time and energy on reforming city college in a way to help address some real systemic challenges that we know still exist. and when you serve on these bodies, it is so important to think about the impacts that it has on the people that we are trying to serve. it is not about the person with the loudest voice. it is about the protection and the health and well-being of this extraordinary institution. that was really a lifesaver for so many people over the decades. and i remember after i graduated

from galileo high school, i fortunately had a scholarship. so that i could go to uc davis. but most of the people who graduated with me did not have money to go to a four year institution, and had i not had those scholarships, i would have been at city college too. like so many of the people that wanted to continue their educational pursuits and look at a way to make college a lot more cost efficient for them and their families. and city college provides that opportunity. it provides that opportunity for someone looking for a second career, opportunity for someone looking to enhance their skills that may need a little bit tightening up, you name it, you all are here because you value the importance of this extraordinary institution, and you know that it cannot be politicized. it needs strong, effective leaders, people who are not just looking for a

stepping stone, but they're looking for a chance to make sure that an opportunity like this exists for future generations to come. and so we are here to make an appointment of luis zamora. now the reason why i support luis wholeheartedly has a lot to do with his experience. his experience from a financial perspective and policy perspective and administrative perspective. because that's what city college needs. now i have this whole bio because he's done so much. let me get it all here. director of community relations and executive affairs working with david chiu, commissioner on the immigrant rights commission.

leadership in so many sectors of san francisco who know how incredibly important this role is and how thankless and hard this role also is. so i first became familiar with the force of nature known as luis zamora, a number of years ago, when i needed a new staffer in my district office and literally, luis name kept coming up. i'm looking at some of you who had suggested that i consider meeting this guy, and what i was told was, no one works harder. he's incredibly savvy when it comes to community and policy and politics and he is unbelievably committed to public service. in fact, he was so committed to public service that he was willing to take a $40,000 paycheck pay cut to work for me in the state legislature. and i

found out as his boss that he was not only all of those things, but he also was incredibly unifying, because the assembly district that i once represented is one of the most diverse in the state. it includes the historic neighborhoods of the mission, the castro, the oldest chinatown in our country, the bayview western addition. some of the most well off and some of the poorest and struggling neighborhoods in our city. and luis was someone who not only was able to engage, but he was able to bring folks together in his way, in a way. and i will say this, and this is true, this is not true for i think for any elected official. but at this moment, i don't know anyone who doesn't like luis zamora at this moment. we'll see what happens in a little bit. but i will also say that he is exemplified leadership in so many ways. i actually promoted him to be the

district director of my office within a very short period of time. when i was appointed by our mayor to become city attorney, i asked him to be our director of executive affairs and what that means is he works with our executive team to oversee hundreds of legal professionals who oversee thousands of legal matters and works with tens of thousands of city employees and many of you in this room to move our city forward. and he has also led in so many other ways, the head of san francisco, young dems, the head of the lgbt caucus of the california democratic party leadership in the golden gate business association, and so on and so on. and there's so much that i have valued about luis. but now let's talk about city college. this is an institution that has been challenged in all sorts of ways. and when we were in the assembly working with senator wiener, we worked to make sure that city college got the funding it needed. my city attorney's office helped to lead the fight to save city college,

but we are now in a different era when city college is faced with new challenges again. and luis, i can't think of someone who is more of the right person at the right time for this job. and you will hear in a moment about his personal commitment. but there's no one who i think, in addition to a number of you who helped to serve in this role, who has more of a personal touch point for what this has done for him. i'll also say, as someone who's a son of immigrant parents, luis immigrant background is also incredibly relevant to this job. he is someone who's been fighting for years for the role of immigrants in this community, fighting in my office to engage immigrant parents and immigrant communities in our school system. and i just can't wait to see how he's going to work with the diversity of san francisco and moving us forward. so i could not be more thrilled. again, thank you, madam mayor, for your appointment. and with that, i want to bring up someone who i've had conversations with about up and coming leadership

by luis zamora. and you all know him as our amazing state senator, someone who knows all of us extremely well. senator wiener, come on up. thank you. david. wow. this is really exciting. i feel like we were we were just here for another exciting announcement. a few weeks ago. and. and, madam mayo, thank you for this appointment. and also thank you for elevating lgbtq leadership because we have to be very intentional about doing that. and if we don't, then we quickly start sliding back. so thank you for always standing with our community, so i've known luis for about a over a decade now, and, and when i first got to know luis, it was through san francisco young democrats and the work that he

did to try to engage young people in the political process, which is so incredibly important. and at times challenging because there's so much cynicism out there. but luis did a fantastic job getting more people engaged in the process, and that is that really relates directly to what this is about. city college plays such an essential role in our city building the middle class, just giving people access to educational opportunities in a way that works for them and is flexible for their for their lives. because not everyone, you know, everyone has different lives and people need that flexible approach. and city college has been just a lifeline for generations of san franciscans in terms of getting higher education and really entering the middle class and the, the colleges at risk. and it's had some real challenges

for quite some time now. and it doesn't need to be that way. and we i think there are clear paths to stabilizing the college, to starting to grow the enrollment again, to making sure that it can continue to serve future generations of san franciscans, not only young people, but a lot of young people in the way that it has served previous generations. and i know, luis, that you're going to be fantastic. you are going to engage all the people who need to be engaged. you're going to just focus on the basics of making sure that this college is successful. and it makes me very optimistic for you to be on the board. so congratulations. and again, thank you, madam mayor. thank you again. and i just want to really reiterate how important it is to have our labor partners here from the

teamsters and from the laborers in particular, and how there's a direct connection between city college and the various labor organizations and making sure that we bring those things together. it provides a way into the working class for so many people and so many families. and i'm grateful that you have brought labor to the table as a part of this event, as well as the trifecta of district eight supervisors here, you know, bevan dufty and rafael mandelman and scott wiener. i mean, it's the trifecta, right, but it's great to be here again. and so many amazing people. we appreciate each and every one of you and phil kim, i just swore in not too long ago to the school board, and he's in there helping jenny lam and you guys better get together because i'm not messing around with you all, and just want to thank, honey

mahogany. mahogany for being here. she is now the head of the office of transgender initiatives. as you can see, a diverse coalition of people. and alan wong, thank you again for joining us from city college, a diverse group of people who are here to support you, who care about city college and who want to of course, uplift the amazing work that this institution has to do. so you don't have to roll your sleeves up and get ready to rumble, because it's going to be. and tom temprano, i forgot you were on city college, too. i mean, see what happens when you start talking names and stuff, let me stop right now and just swear. luis in. come on up. come a little bit closer to the mic. there you go. are you ready? i'm ready. are we ready? yes. okay. y'all got your cameras ready? here we go. okay, i want you to put your hand down, raise your right hand and repeat after me.

i state your name. i, luis zamora, do solemnly swear. do solemnly swear to support and defend. to support and defend the constitution of the united states, the constitution of the united states, and the constitution of the state of california, and the constitution of the state of california. against all enemies. against all enemies, foreign and domestic, foreign and domestic. that i bear true faith, that i bear true faith and allegiance and allegiance to the same. to the same that i take this obligation freely, that i take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion or purpose of evasion, and that i will well and faithfully and that i will well and faithfully discharge the duties. discharge the duties upon which i'm about to enter, upon which i'm about to enter. and during such time and during such time that i serve as that i

serve as member of the city college, member of the city college of san francisco. of san francisco. board of trustees. board of trustees. there you go. congratulations thank you. thank you very much. well, i'd like to start by thanking mayor london breed for this appointment. i am so grateful for mayor breed's leadership and her deep, continued commitment to public education for all. it is my honor to serve on the city college board of trustees. i want to thank morrell for his service on the community college board in his years of public service, he has always looked

out for the best interests of students, and that is something i intend to emulate in my own service to the college. i join others in wishing morrell all the best in his future work. i also want to give deep thanks to city attorney chiu and state senator wiener for their continued support. they were some of the first to recognize my passion and willingness to serve others. my path to the board of trustees started at community college. i am a first generation college graduate with an associate degree in liberal arts from santiago canyon college. as the first in my family to go to higher education, i know firsthand how important accessible higher education is. it's a gift that can change lives and can help develop real paths into the middle class and beyond. but city college is facing serious

issues. as we are all aware, our financial future and status as an accredited institution are at risk by neglecting the college's long term fiscal health, by failing to follow its own policies, and by interfering with the administration's authority. our institution has set off alarm bells for the accreditation commission. how we move forward together on the city college board will be the most important factor in how we meet those challenges, head on. it can be challenging at times to remember that we are all working towards the same goal to keep city college as a resource for everybody in san francisco who wants local, affordable higher education. but if we follow our rules and keep our work centered on what we have in

common, our devotion to the community college community, we will succeed. so i'm looking forward to working with my fellow trustees on the board and will bring that same positive, collaborative spirit that i've brought to every position i have ever held. san francisco is a world class city, and we deserve a well functioning city college that gives every san franciscan the chance to improve themselves while staying close to their families and their communities. i want to again thank mayor london breed for her trust and belief in me to serve my community, and i'm ready to get to work now and after november's election, when i hope to continue my time serving on the board. thank you very much.

>> right before the game starts, if i'm still on the field, i look around, and i just take a deep breath because it is so exciting and magical, not knowing what the season

holds is very, very exciting. it was fast-paced, stressful, but the good kind of stressful, high energy. there was a crowd to entertain, it was overwhelming in a good way, and i really, really enjoyed it. i continued working for the grizzlies for the 2012-2013 season, and out of happenstance, the same job opened up for the san francisco giants. i applied, not knowing if i would get it, but i would kick myself if i didn't apply. i was so nervous, i never lived anywhere outside of fridays fridays -- fresno, and i got an interview. and then, i got a second

interview, and i got more nervous because know the thought of leaving fresno and my family and friends was scary, but this opportunity was on the other side. but i had to try, and lo and behold, i got the job, and my first day was january 14, 2014. every game day was a puzzle, and i have to figure out how to put the pieces together. i have two features that are 30 seconds long or a minute and a 30 feature. it's fun to put that al together and then lay that out in a way that is entertaining for the fans. a lucky seat there and there, and then, some lucky games that include players. and then i'll talk to lucille, can you take the shirt gun to the bleachers. i just organize it from top to bottom, and it's just fun for me. something, we don't know how

it's going to go, and it can be a huge hit, but you've got to try it. or if it fails, you just won't do it again. or you tweak it. when that all pans out, you go oh, we did that. we did that as a team. i have a great team. we all gel well together. it keeps the show going. the fans are here to see the teams, but also to be entertained, and that's our job. i have wonderful female role models that i look up to here at the giants, and they've been great mentors for me, so i aspire to be like them one day. renelle is the best. she's all about women in the workforce, she's always in our corner. [applause]

>> i enjoy how progressive the giants are. we have had the longer running until they secure day. we've been doing lgbt night longer than most teams. i enjoy that i work for an organization who supports that and is all inclusive. that means a lot to me, and i wouldn't have it any other way. i wasn't sure i was going to get this job, but i went for it, and i got it, and my first season, we won a world series even if we hadn't have won or gone all the way, i still would have learned. i've grown more in the past four years professionally than i think i've grown in my entire adult life, so it's been eye opening and a wonderful learning

san francisco is known as a city filled with diversity culture and progressive ideas. our ever changing city and the people within in. but it was not always this way, women struggled to have one of their own on their life until 2021. it would not be until 32 years later that the mex women clarissa mcman served in the board of supervisors. since then women have continued to make significant contributions to the board of supervisors. so who are these women? and what impact have they made with their time on the board. >> to be honest it came as a

surprise when i became as a supervisor. i was working as a deputy director in the mayor's office and there were some challenges with the then supervisor and mayor gavin newsom at the time removed that supervisor from office. i was asked to serve on the role. it was a quick transition, but i got into public service because i really believe that government is a place where you can create opportunities and level the playing field. >> madam clerk, would you please call the roll. >> i was on the board of supervisors from 2001 to 20111. i have been involved in working my community, there was scheduling to be a redevelopment area plan and as african americans we knew that meant, that was usually a removal of certain kinds of people. so because fs path, there had to be a committee formed of all the people that lived in the community. everybody had to be involved in this committee and there were certain rules and regulations

and we had to get neighbors to vote for us and so we did that and i did that, and i won the seat on that committee and that kind of started everything. >> supervisor kristenson. >> i think having women in the board of supervisors and legislative bodies all around the country have meant that some of the issues that have traditionally called family issues are now raised .d >> i think san francisco and the rest of the country here is very behind and i think that you know, many mothers, they don't have a choice about whether they get to return to work or not. >> having individuals who are women in all of these places helps to create, a more rich dialogue around what policy choices actually mean and what the impact to people and family and lives would be. so sing having women on the board here in the city has been impactful in that way. >> supervisor kim, kim presentation. >> democracy is about representation, how can you leave off over half of the

population. a lot of women are not just taking care of children but taking care of parents and working so all of those life's experiences are part now of our policies of our city policies and throughout the country >> supervisor breed. >> here. >> breed present. >> supervisor maxwell. >> we saw two of san francisco female mayor having originated from the board of supervisors as well. that's where people are seen as leaders and get exposure and have the influence to influence policy. i think it's important to see ourselves in that. >> supervisor cohen. cohen present. >> doris championed rent control. contracts for black women, women of color and small businesses, he will a was really really special, she was really who motivated me.

she worked for the lawu, she was a switch board operator and then secretary. and then founded an organization cofounded with somebody called congress of racial equity core. so the lin she came with was about equity, about young women, seniors at-risk youth having jobs. it was about more police guided. those three women to me left their legacy. >> supervisor elliot. >> when you think about the legislative and women legislatures, i think the tendency is to find a women issue that would otherwise won be covered. but so many of our legislatures women included have touched on so many faucets of policies. it's important to be seen through your life experiences how you identify and for a young girls, i think having women on the board is important

because you get to see that you actually changed seat yourself in that power of decision. >> that concludes business for today. >> there was one where the fellows, at the time, they were arguing and i was the only women and only african-american, and i'm sitting there, thinking oh my god, it's a room full of people because it's a board day and i'm thinking, what can i say to stop this. so the universe gave me the words, gentlemen, let us be about the people of business. and of course all the people started clapping. and they had to do what? they had to act like gentleman, that one for me, showed the importance of having women, having the importance of having african-americans and the african-american women. >> to the women of the board, past, present and future, thank you for your strength, grace,

and commitment to changing san francisco for the better. let's continue to make history. >> i started the o was with a financing and had a business partner all ended up wanting to start the business and retire and i did was very important to me so i bought them oust and two weeks later the pandemic h-4 one of the moments i thought to myself we have to have the worse

business in a lifetime or the best. >> we created the oasis out of a need basically so other people bars and turning them into a space and when the last place we were performing wasn't used turned those buildings into condos so we decided to have a space. >> what the pandemic did for us is made us on of that we felt we had to do this immediately and created this. >> (unintelligible). >> where we would offer food

delivery services with a curbside professionalism live music to bring spectacular to lives we are going through and as well as employ on the caterers and the performers and drivers very for that i think also for everyone to do something. we had ordinary on the roof and life performances and with a restaurant to support the system where we are and even with that had terribly initiative and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt had to pay our rent we decided to have an old-fashioned one we created club hours where you can watch to online and or be on the phone and raised over one

quarter of a million dollar that of incredible and something that northbound thought we could do. >> we got ourselves back and made me realize how for that people will show up if i was blown away but also had the courage but the commitment now i can't let anyone down i have to make the space serviceable so while this is a full process business it became much more about a space that was used by the community. and it became less about starting up a business and more about the heart of what we're doing. this building used to be a- and one of the first one we started

working on had we came out what a mural to wrap the building and took a while but able to raise the money and pay 5 artists to make a design around many this to represent what is happening on the side and also important this is who we are this is us putting it out there because satisfies other people we don't realize how much we affect the community around there when he i want to put that out there and show up and show ourselves outside of those walls more fabulous. and inspires other people to be more fabulous and everyone want to be more fabulous and less hatred and hostility and that is how we change the
