Good morning, everyone.

I'd like to call to order our Tuesday, October 7th regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Supervisors for Alameda County.

And um I'll ask everyone to please rise if you can and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Will the clerk please call the role to call establish our quorum?

Supervisor Marquez present.

We have a quorum.

Thank you very much.

Our next item is uh supervisors' remarks.

Any anybody wish to make remarks?

I have one, and that is um to welcome um we have um some guests today who would like to make a few comments that which I'll handle under remarks.

Um this is Davita Scott and her team from Raising Leaders.

And if you would please um indulge me and have a brief presentation by Miss Scott.

Thank you.

Good morning, you guys.

I just wanted to thank Supervisor Halbert for supporting 25 families for our Thanksgiving drive, and Supervisor Marquez for supporting eighty fl families for our Thanksgiving drive.

When I came last time, I let you guys know that we recruited eight hundred and five students this recruitment season for our workshop series.

Tomorrow's our orientation, and we have 372 confirmed.

They've provided their email and signed up.

Um we've already had a hundred and fifty-nine students that have submitted their intakes, and that gives us a eighty percent uh benchmark for students that have completed their intake for our class of two hundred.

And so I just want to thank my team because they work very hard, and that's why we have the success that we have, and thank you for you guys for all your support, and we're excited to give you guys more updates later on.

And we wanted to take a picture with Supervisor Halbert and Supervisor Marquez.

Yes.

So we have Miss Nicole Perez, she oversees our SBA two three unit and will firm roots, and she oversees all of our partnerships with our works sites.

We have Miss Cassandra, Miss Maria, and Miss Natalie.

They oversee all of our students, they oversee the caseload, and they're the teachers that work one-on-one with our students for our workshops, and Nicole runs the workshops with me.

So they do really well, and they're all for their former raising leaders, and now they're our teachers.

Nicole and Cassandra cleared their teaching credential this year, and Maria and Natalie are in their last class to clear their credentials, so congratulations, you guys.

Thank you.

I let's give them a round of applause.

I love you guys.

I know you have busy days, so we're gonna take a picture real quick and then get you out.

Okay.
