Event Details:
Date: Thursday, October 24th
Speaker: This month’s speaker is Supervisor Lynda Hopkins who represents the Fifth District of Sonoma County, which includes the entire Sonoma County coastline, the lower Russian River, many small rural villages, the City of Sebastopol, and the Northwestern portion of the City of Santa Rosa. Lynda is the Chair of the Regional Climate Protection Authority, Sonoma County Transportation Authority, Sonoma Clean Power, and the Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District. She also serves as the Vice Chair of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and as a Director of the Russian River Watershed Association and Santa Rosa Groundwater Sustainability Agency. Lynda’s interest in public policy and land use began while attending Stanford University, where she studied interdisciplinary environmental sciences. She is a passionate advocate for data-driven climate policy, wildfire resilience, coastal climate adaptation, affordable housing, social justice, parks, sea otters, and early childhood education. When she’s not working, Lynda can be found exploring the wonders of West County with her husband and three children, or tending to her herd of dairy goats.
Subject: Supervisor Hopkins will engage us in conversation about how parents of young children can find ways to step into leadership in our community. She will speak to how members of more represented generations in leadership might help raise up, nurture, and support leadership from younger generations.
