Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I have a passion and interest in public service, and see this as an opportunity to lend my expertise in the
fields of fire, emergency management, budgeting , and public policy where it will be appreciated in my
own backyard.
Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of
your resume with this application)
I worked as an emergency response coordinator for the state of Oklahoma for 3 years, as a community
disaster project manager for 2 years in Marin County, and as the local EOC coordinator in Martinez for the
past couple months. I am also an experienced volunteer coordinator and have been an active member of
MRC since 2015 and member of CERT since 2016. I hold a Master's degree in the field of disaster
management and I worked as a disaster researcher, conducting qualitative research in the wake of
Hurricane Harvey (2018). This evolved getting close to first responders and victims of the storm and
conducting interviews, sometimes on site in the rubble. Additionally, form my time with fire unified
command structures, I became more familiar with the more obscure components of the incident command
system and how it can function across networks and stakeholders. This is something I hope to build on
during my time with the county citizen board(s).

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I have been a home owner and tax payer in Contra Costa County since May 2002 and have a vested
interest in ensuring the funds raised from this sales tax are allocated in a manner consistent with
reimagining public safety and improving health outcomes for all. I have a keen understanding of how
appropriately utilizing these new financial resources, through cost effective methods with community input
can result in a better quality of life that could allow for more economic opportunities for all residents. I
understand that when services and programs are not made available where they are most needed it
results in greater cost down the line for all. I think we have an obligation to wisely use these additional
dollars to address long standing inequities that put a drain on our system. I want to work with individuals
who love this county as much as I do to create a county that meets the needs of all by prioritizing and
redefining safety while promoting community and belonging for all citizens. I want to share my ideas
around key resources and community defined practices we can use to promote and utilize to promote
equity and reduce the glaring disparities we see in the criminal justice system. My over 30 years in the
mental health field equips me with the skills and knowledge needed to approach challenges using an
appreciative inquiry, strength based, and solutions focused application. I am great at looking at root
causes and applying compassionate approaches that allow for positive outcomes.

Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of
your resume with this application)
I have over 30 years in social services, specifically mental health managerial positions. I am therefore well
informed about the fact too often individuals living with mental illnesses are criminalized and incarcerated
when they have unaddressed trauma and live with untreated mental health diagnosis. I served as the
Ethnic Services Manager for Alameda County Behavioral Health Services and worked alongside
Nationally Recognized Subject Matter Experts exploring racial biases that lead to disparities and
misdiagnosis etc for those most harmed due to systemic racism. I’m hopeful my background as a
Champion for Change as an Advocate can be used to improve outcomes as it has across the State by
serving in a Clergy, Family member and Professional role utilizing my lived experience to train others and
promote community defined strategies that produce promising outcomes.

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I would like to serve on this board to help close the gap between cutting edge technology in the wildfire
technology space with current public safety and home hardening behavior preparedness efforts.
Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of
your resume with this application)
My qualifications include: intimate knowlege of Contra Costa County, a career in the fire industry, years of
leadership within community engagements including CERT, Boy Scouts of America, CYO and Little
League institutions. In addition, established working relationships with many agency partners while acting
as the Logistics Section Chief of the Contra Costa County COVID Vaccination clinic Incident Management
Team. Because of these experiences, I will bring an open mind and balanced approach to Wildfire
Prepardeness objectives and other crucial county disaster preparedness projects. Most recently, I have
worked with dozens of counties throughout the Western US with evacuation alert and warning systems
and county messaging workflows. I have gained a wealth of knowledge to compare and contrast the
various jurisdictions that are highly motivated and progressive in their prepardeness and prevention
efforts compared to those who have not yet embraced the fast moving technology transforming the
wildfire industry. I believe I bring a unique perspective the group with the above mentioned wide range of
experiences and the knowledge, skills and abilities crafted over the past three decades.

Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or

I currently serve as Executive Director for ROAR, a local 501c3 nonprofit community development and
multiple resource organization with a mission: "To Encourage and Facilitate Age-Friendly Communities
which are Livabable, Sustainable, Accessible, Affordable, and Inclusive." - This seems to be a good fit for
Measure X Advisory needs. On behalf of my organization, I hope to be of service offering some
perspective on creating and maintaining age-friendly communities in Contra Costa County, via objective-
achieving affordable housing, workforce development, and infrastructure projects, and would love to see
our county receive official national/global designation as an age-friendly county, as it seems we are well
on our way to that. *Note: ROAR holds the county contract to provide financial services for APS. As an
independent nonprofit organization, ROAR provides access to resources and opportunities related to our
mission of advocacy for older adults: affordable housing, accessible transit options, job training, financial
planning, and multigenerational learning opportunities.

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I would like to continue serving on the MXCAB, preferably as an At-Large Member. I have been involved
with Measure X, from the very beginning -- even sitting in on some of the initial planning meetings
providing input as a member of the Multifaith ACTION Coalition. I have had exemplary attendance and
played a very active role on MXCAB the last three years as an At-Large Alternate. Not only do I have the
historical knowledge of the purpose and operation of MXCAB, I am able to offer a voice for many different
community perspectives. As Co-Chair of the Multifaith ACTION Coalition Healthcare Task Force, I have a
wealth of knowledge regarding the barriers to quality, affordable healthcare in Contra Costa County. I
serve on several county healthcare coalitions including the One Contra Costa Coalition, the Immigrant
Health Alliance, Health4All, and work jointly with the Health Services Department and County clinics on
the Health Care Options Workgroup. On the MFAC Steering Committee, I have gained substantive
knowledge of all of the issues MFAC tries to address in achieving its goal of eliminating poverty in Contra
Costa County, including economic justice, housing and shelter, racial justice, and food insecurity. My
personal background -- my former 10-year tenure as a disability rights attorney with Disability Rights
California and my longtime advocacy on a range of social justice issues -- make me especially well-
qualified to have a voting presence on MXCAB.
Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of
your resume with this application)
Please see my attached resume. In addition to my qualifications described above and in my resume, I
have vast experience working collaboratively with a broad range of people, including traditionally
underserved groups, such as people from the disability, BIPOC, monolingual, homeless, LGBTQI+ and
rural communities. I have worked in a variety of roles to brainstorm practical solutions to complex
problems through representing individuals directly, working in coalitions with community-based
organizations, lobbying public officials, and collaborating with government officials.

Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or

I am especially interested in the Early Care & Education, First Five, and Women's Commission
opportunities as a mother of young children. I work for a not-for-profit Healthcare organization and core to

In my current capacity, I evaluate partnership opportunities based on a set of business criteria that I
designed with consult from colleagues across various departments, functions and lines of business. I
activate partnerships against an enterprise strategy, with goals related not to both fiscal impact (i.e.
member growth and retention) but community wellness (i.e. community services and programs that
impact community and individual health). I manage budgets, design and execute strategic plans, present
to C suite and other senior decision makers, measure partnership success and create recap documents. I
am organized, and I am passionate about bettering communities and individual civic responsibility.

In collaboration with the other MXCAB members, I would like to continue to lift up the values and
principles that MXCAB members have collectively embodied over the three years since the advisory
board's creation, as we welcomed input from community members and stakeholders, received and
reviewed qualitative and quantitative data, and formulated funding priority recommendations for
consideration by the Board of Supervisors. MXCAB's approach has demonstrated that a community-
driven approach to assessing urgent needs and service gaps results in funding recommendations that
reflect the highest needs of residents who can most directly benefit from these sales tax funds. My
personal and professional expertise, along with my core values and my prior lived experience of poverty,
have given me the perspectives and skill set needed to contribute to the continued effective functioning of
MXCAB.

Unfortunately,I was unable to attend today ’s Finance Committee hearing due to a
prior commitment to lead Moms Demand Action volunteers in meetings with
lawmakers for our annual Advocacy Day in Sacramento.Instead,I will submit this
brief written statement in support of my application to continue on the Measure X
Community Advisory Board (MXCAB):
Diana Honig MXCAB Application Statement
After serving the last three years as an At-Large Alternate,I am applying to be
re-appointed,preferably as an At-Large Member.
As outlined in my application,I have been involved with Measure X from its
inception through my work with the Multi-Faith ACTION Coalition,whose goal is
to eliminate poverty in Contra Costa County.During the last three years,I
attended almost every MXCAB meeting,arrived prepared,and actively
contributed to the work at hand.MXCAB currently has a fair number of
newly-appointed District Members and seven open Alternate seats.In addition,
several At-Large Members will be resigning.Having already helped to develop the
county needs assessment and make recommendations on several rounds of
Measure X funding,I could hit the ground running and provide guidance to some
of the newer Board members if reappointed.I would be able to continue
MXCAB’s important work without the need for any additional orientation or
training.
In addition,as you can see from my resume,I have a wealth of experience in
several areas critical to the Board’s work,including disability rights,healthcare,
mental health,housing,safety net services and the needs of older adults.
Thank you for your consideration.
