On November 17th we listened to Rose Jacobs Gibson speak about her work over the years. She was on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors covering areas like Redwood City and Palo Alto. She has fought for things like affordable housing, health inequalities, and social justice. From her talk I got her website, hagarservicescoalition.org, which talks more about what she does to develop leaders in the world today. This includes initiative for Leadership Engagement and Development or iLEAD as she talked about in her speech. This is designed to stimulate greater civic participation locally and across the nation. It is like our "call to action day" where we get out and help those around us. I enjoyed her talk because I could personally relate to it and I would recommend the freshman seminar classes in the future listen to her as well.
