it is signed by betty traynor, was a president of the board, and jessica lehman, who is the executive director. dear supervisors, senior and disability action works closely with the board of supervisors on policy issues and city budget decisions. we have a stake in the election of the next board president. we hope you will take a moment to consider our concerns. based on our experience of the past 20 plus years, we believe it is important that the president be someone with experience on the board, someone who has a clear track record, the president should be someone who focuses on the needs of marginalized communities, far more than the needs of corporations, far more than the needs of corporations and developers. and someone with demonstrated commitment and ability to put together complex programs for public benefit. while honoring the different branches of the government, the president must, of course, work with the mayor, in at the same time, maintain political independence, and at the same time, maintain political independence. thank you very much. >> thank you for your comments.
