Board of Supervisors Vote to Support the
AHEAD Act
As Chair of the Personnel, Administration, and Leg-
islation Committee, I was proud to recommend that
the Board of Supervisors support AB 1726, The
Accounting for Health and Education in API
Demographics (AHEAD) Act. Introduced and co-
authored by Assemblymember Bonta, this bill will
make it easier for members of the API community
to access supportive resources. If passed at the state
level, this bill would be an important step forward
for our API advocates and supporters.
What’s Current in the County?
Recognizing Local Businesses through
our “Let’s Work” Initiative
In our “Let’s Work” initiative, we highlight em-
ployers who hire individuals who have barriers to
employment. At our August 2nd Board Meeting, I
was honored to present certificates of recognition
to CEO Tom Frainier and CCO Mike Rose of
Semifreddi’s Bakery, and business owner Rahima
Deborah Walker and team members from Green
Clean a Scene, Inc. Thank you!
