The March minutes show that Ethics requested that a discussion of the report take place at the April meeting; it was not put on the April agenda and was not discussed. Currently the Commission appointment that falls to the Board of Supervisors has become vacant. The appointee serves for six years. We are writing to bring to your attention our continued disappointment with the Ethics Commissions work to protect the public trust.

Some of our organizations are active in city elections and some are active as advocates for steps we believe will improve the quality of life and government for all of us regardless of our political differences. Many of us have had no outreach from the Ethics Commission, including regarding the upcoming Interested Persons meeting, although the Commission directed staff to create a robust outreach for community views on the June 5, Rose Report comparing San Francisco to Los Angeles ethics policy and practices.

Within memory, Ethics staff has yet to seek public input on how the Commission is meeting its mandate or to hear from us our proposals on steps that are long overdue. We note that even when members of the Board or a state judge recommended action by Ethics to protect the public trust, Ethics staff did not act.

This significantly impacts our confidence in the Commission and its oversight. Now with the upcoming Interested Persons meeting, the IP notice of the report eliminates significant findings in the Rose Report from the topics on its agenda. We plan to raise those issues either at the meeting or in a separate communication to the Commissioners. We draw your attention to these specific findings in the Rose Report that were eliminated from the IP discussion topics:.

As noted above, not only is LA ahead of SF in numerous policy areas, the State of California has adopted a number of reforms as best practices, leaving San Francisco far behind and belying any presumed role as a leader in ethics reform. We are troubled that San Francisco relies on an Ethics staff that has no known experience in San Francisco campaigns. Without some experience in the real world of politics, San Francisco has constructed a paper house of cards that collapses when it confronts the reality of how politics operates in our city.

The Rose Report offers a critical opportunity for action and reform leading to more transparency, fuller accountability and stronger enforcement. We implore the Ethics Commission to review the well-researched Rose Report and develop a package of ethics reforms that will enable SF to assume a new leadership role.

Following my retirement from Kaiser in , I felt a desire to give back to my community, having previously served on a number of boards and commissions, including the San Francisco Library Commission, the San Francisco Ethics Commission, and San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women. I had served on the Commission on the Status of Women at the same time as Marcia Smolens, a prominent influencer who was a Metta Fund board member in the s. The board was at an inflection point and actively seeking to bring new perspectives to the table.

The time was right for me as I was seeking to further contribute as a steward of public good. The foundation transformed from an anonymous funder to an active and collaborative grantmaking institution that brings others to the table. Having worked in the health field, I am especially satisfied with the impression Metta Fund has made on public health in San Francisco.

I look forward to seeing what future successes Metta Fund accomplishes hand-in-hand with its many important partners. We know that American society has always worshipped the lone ranger. Our country is founded on these individualist beliefs. Contributing to these isolating founding beliefs is our corporate and urban society as well as the vast size of this country. We have to ensure that we help others connect, and we have to work on creating villages and support networks for older people.

What role can philanthropy play in the effort to reduce social isolation and loneliness amongst our aging population? I believe philanthropy can be instrumental in supporting the community village idea and providing opportunities to connect. That is what is missing in our society. Philanthropy can blow the horn and promote people coming together and fixing things together.

Of course I also stay quite busy with my family and especially love spending time with my four year old granddaughter. That would be the perfect day! What advice would you have for a peer or friend who may be feeling socially isolated? Search: Submit Close.
