Public Disclosure Notice: Submitted application materials constitute a public record and may be publicized as part of Town Council meeting materials. Pamela J. Bonnie My husband and I chose to live in Tiburon because of its proximity to San Francisco and beautiful surroundings. As an active volunteer in the broader Marin community, I am passionate about the topic of diversity and inclusion and would like to give back to the Tiburon community. I am a multi-racial person of Chinese, Hawaiian and Caucasian decent- (50% Asian and 50% Caucasian). Our family is both racially and socio-economically diverse. A resident for 23 years, I know the Tiburon community and can help people understand why improving the Town’s diversity and inclusion practices for its services and town culture is beneficial for everyone. Diverse groups outperform homogeneous groups. I can provide a different voice on the Diversity Task Force, representing financial expertise and education/non-profit experience. In my professional career, I was a financial equity analyst in Asia and the US. I am highly analytical and thoughtful. Through my volunteer work, I reviewed, designed and helped implement the policies and procedures similar to those that the Town of Tiburon might adopt with guidance from the Diversity Inclusion Task Force. I am interested in investing my time and effort in helping Tiburon grow as the demographics of Marin change. Through my volunteer work at Marin Country Day School, I was highly involved in a multi-year diversity and inclusion review and implementation of a plan to improve the organization's culture, as well as recruitment and retention of diverse students and staff. In my children's high school, Marin Academy, I was active in the diversity and inclusion initiatives of the Parents' Association, helping them create a more welcoming and supportive community for all families. Through Coro Northern California's Women In Leadership program, I prepared to be a collaborative leader that can effectively tackle pressing public problems. I am looking for the intersection between my passion for analyzing and investing in the public policy arena and my education non-profit experience. I am interested in supporting Tiburon's government and community through serving on the Diversity Task Force. As a multiracial woman who lived and worked in Asia and in the US, I have a tremendous amount of empathy for both people of color and also understand the perspective of Caucasians. I think my life experience serves to help me attempt to build bridges.

Best, Pam Dear Diversity Inclusion Task Force, I am writing to express my interest in being involved with the task force work.

Through my board service at Marin Country Day School – I was highly involved in a multi-year review and implementation of a plan to improve the organizations culture, hiring practices and curriculum. At Marin Academy, I served on the Parents Association Community Outreach and Inclusion Committee andstarted enhancing the practices of the association and provided support to develop a more inclusive community. Through participating in the Coro Women's Leadership Program, I further honed myskills to be a collaborative leader that can effectively tackle pressing public problems. I am interested in investing and making a positive impact in the Tiburon Community using my multifaceted skills. These experiences will help me review the Town’spolicies and practices. I come from a diverse background – Chinese, Hawaiian and Caucasian decent. My extended family is racially and socio-economically diverse. A resident for 23 years, Iknow the Tiburon community and can help people understand why improving the Town’s practices is beneficial for everyone.

From:John Rodriguez To:Lea Stefani Subject:For your consideration - Tiburon Diversity Inclusion Task Force Date:Wednesday, October 28, 2020 5:02:53 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi there! Having some trouble with the form. Why would you like to serve on the task force? Hello, my name is John Charles Rodriguez, but you can call me J-Ro. I live on the hillside on Vistazo West with my wife Laura and two year old daughter, Rio. We love Tiburon and lookforward to raising our growing family here. I want to actively participate in the Tiburon community by serving on the newly formed Diversity Inclusion Task Force. With the amalgamation of our country’s largely unresolved history, the events of the past fewyears, and the current global pandemic, I believe we stand at a cultural precipice in how we look at, interact, and work with one another in our increasingly connected society. It’s rarewhen a large group of people is affected by the same thing at the same time, but the pressure to enact change, while it may seem like it has recently increased, has been brewing for quitesome time. It’s well understood and established that generations of systemic and discriminatory practices in banking, real estate, education, and public policy has eroded asignificant amount of trust in the public systems we all rely on. However, those systems don’t actually reflect the day to day reality of what it’s like to be a modern American citizen. Aquick observation of the modern American experience as well as widespread cultural touch points like sports, music, and filmed entertainment reflects an entirely diverse and complexpopulation. We have never been more of a cultural melting pot than we are, right here, right now. I believe that people are generally good and want to belong to a tight knit group that acceptsthem as they are. I believe that too often in the past, cultural norms have been difficult to break from, and have often suppressed opportunities to show one another how things actually are.Take the recently announced story behind the origins of the classic children’s book, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Charlie Bucket, the underdog, the dreamer of dreams, the one whose good deed shined in aweary world, was originally written as an African American boy. Author Roald Dahl wrote the original draft as an allegory of race and privilege titled, “Charlie and the Chocolate Boy.”Looking back, it becomes clear what the other spoiled children represent, from Veruca Salt’s incessant whining to Augustus Gloop’s gluttony. Their characters remained, largelyuntouched, while Charlie was changed to the character we know today. Why? Because it was not the cultural norm and not being the cultural norm at that time was not good for business.Published as planned, and emerging from the era of the civil rights movement, it would be an entirely different story today. More likely, we would never have even heard of it to begin with. Today, that story is well within the cultural norm. We have diverse protagonists, heroes fromall nationalities, creed, sex, and backgrounds. Time and technology has pushed aside the veiled injustice and abuse that stem from years of doing things a certain way. For the lastgeneration, we’ve increasingly accepted new heroes and figureheads that look nothing like the majority of us. Today, Charlie Bucket could be any color. That would be totally normal. Asnormal as a latino from Texas on the hillside in Marin. As a latino in disguise, (people are often surprised by my surname) I understand what it’s like to see a real time shift in how people act when they determine my heritage. I also understandboth the benefit and struggles of a rich cultural background. I use this self awareness to provide value in my business. My marketing consultancy, Stage Two, works with variedconsumer technologies, from set top entertainment devices, to social media applications. Our job is to stay on the pulse of popular culture, so that we may help our portfolio brands shapetheir way into the ebb and flow of consumer and investor mindshare. I’ve hired and managed diverse teams that have gone on to source and run diversified focus and test groups to helpinform systems, product planning and design. We take great pride in helping shape great internal and consumer experiences in this way. I believe that constant awareness around normalizing equal behavior is the best way to ensurethat inclusion for all is part of the culture, and part of the public policy. We have to be active in boosting under appreciated perspectives and amplifying them so that they are not onlyheard, but that they are considered and vetted appropriately. Everyone appreciates and deserves the respect of being heard by their peers. We’ve got to work to continue to normalizeracial and viewpoint diversity in everything we do. Everything we build together. And everything we leave behind. Credentials Being in consumer products, we know quite a bit about Gen Z. Today’s Generation Z, peopleborn between 1996 and 2010, are the most racially and ethnically diverse generation ever. They are the most highly educated, the most outspoken, most vulnerable, and interestinglyenough, the most tolerant of societal change. They think less and less of political party and more and more about social justice. They want the comfort of knowing they will be treated theway they intend to treat others. In this way, it’s larger than a generational shift, it’s an idealogical one. We should look for helpful, meaningful, and constructive ways that ourleadership can seed what will enable this generation to make the societal changes that they so desperately want and deserve to pass on. In closing, it’s clear that the populace is ready for the logical next steps in our progressivegrowth. It’s time for public policy and services to reflect the community at large. But large, difficult changes are brought on by smaller, more manageable, and more local ones. As ademocratic society, our ultimate goal should be to create the ideal conditions where a group can outperform their individual members. It would be an honor to work on this with Tiburon’sDiversity Inclusion Task Force. For early stage brands and nascent experiences, brand, public and community relations effortsare good things to invest in. I’ve taken great pride in creating inclusive work environments by hiring and leading teams to ensure the greatest range of cultural inputs and influence withinthe organization. That, in turn, benefits clients and brands by ensuring they are well represented in their respected marketplaces. Here are some examples - At Grande Communications in Austin, I served on the board of the Passion and Commitmentclub. An employee run PAC that worked with the community to help provide support for organizations like the following. Latinitas Girlstart Austin Parks Foundation Knowbility At the South By Southwest Music, Film and Interactive Festival, or SXSW, I served inmultiple executive level roles that were tied to the brands interaction with the community. I’ve served on the SXSW advisory board for over 13 years where I am responsible for ensuring that topics surrounding early stage tech, entrepreneurship, venture capital, brand andproduct marketing, and design are represented evenly with at least one culturally diverse person, and at least one woman. I’ve also run campaigns for Austin Music Foundation, promoting urban hip-hop and diversemusic acts with the Mayor of Austin, Texas. Recently, at SAP.io as Entrepreneur in residence. I was responsible for mentoring female and ethnically diverse tech founders into the next stage of their corporate evolution. John C.

The Lyford house. The railroad tracks downtown where I would find rusted spikes. The false fronts on Main Street. The secret lanes on Belvedere. The China Cabin. The Victorian houses scattered throughout the penninsula. These are my memories and these are the things that I treasure since moving back to Belvedere with my husband in 2019. But there is also the art and the artesans who live and work here. In the 70s/80s, there was a wonderful shop on the Boardwalk called Shore BIrds. My mom worked there parttime. Besides the women who owned the shop, the best thing about Shore Birds was that it showcased, promoted and sold the work of local artists. I loved that store, and everything in it. Visting my mom in the afternoons after school, I had the opportunity to meet many of the artists and learn about their work. It was a magical place. I chose the Tiburon Heritage & Arts Commission because this beautiful town is part of my history, and I would be honored to help preserve, promote and celebrate all that it has to offer. I'm currently the VP of Communications for the American Heart Association in th Greater Bay Area, and I have extensive marketing and media experience. Previously, I worked for 25+ years for Ketchum, a top 5 global PR firm. I also have Board experience both as staff and volunteer. I worked for the American Cancer Society and managned dozen of volunteer leadership. After leaving the Society, I've been a volunteer for 15 years in NYC and the Bay Area, and most recently served as Board Chair for 3.5 years for the American Cancer Society's Greater Bay/Redwood Empire Region. I am passionate about art and architecure (my mother worked for MOMA for 10 years!), and grew up with an appreciation for both. I am an amature photographer, and spend my free time photographing the beauty of our community (@abarish on Instgram).

I have a long-standing interest in heritage and preservation, and I have worked on projects involving sites in Prague, Czech Republic (as a lecturer at the faculty of architecture at the Czech Technical University), India, and Nepal.

However, my primary interest in the Heritage and Arts Commission stems from my desire to participate in a meaningful way with the civic life of Tiburon.

I hold graduate degrees in art history and law (with a focus on intellectual property and art law). Please see the attached art biography for a full accounting of my qualifications and experience. I believe the combination of art historical, art advisory, legal, and publishing background that I bring to the Heritage and Arts Commission position will be especially useful in project analysis planning, implementation, communication and public relations.
