report seeks to identify Latino representation as well as the
implications of these findings.
This report hopes to provide a benchmark for the current and
future Latino leadership to assess civic involvement and leadership
on these boards. It is not meant to condemn the work of the
commissioners or advocate for representation based on surname only.
It is the hope that both Latinos and non-Latinos share the
responsibility to include all communities in the planning and
preparation for the million new inhabitants of the bay area.
