maintenance supervisory duties from 1971 to 1981, and served as Program
Manager from March 1981 to October 1987 when she was named Assistant

Social Service clients. She has consistently been responsible for fostering
cultural sensitivity amongst staff and community members; and
Whereas, she was a member of the County Homeless Management
Team that established the first county owned shelter at the Work Furlough site in
North Richmond. Her involvement in the community is also evidenced by her
