Luncheon
Wednesday: May 21, 2008

Speaker: The Honorable Lynne Leach
Topic: Three S’s: Stand-up, Speak-up, and Shut-up

Lynne Leach was first elected to the State Assembly in November of 1996 and became the first woman ever to represent the combined Contra Costa/Alameda County district. In November of 1998, Lynne was re-elected by a commanding margin when nearly 60% of East Bay voters sent her back to Sacramento, and in this year's most recent open primary, she garnered over 65% of the vote.

Lynne has made her mark as a leader in the legislature serving as the Chair of the Assembly Republican Caucus in her first term and Vice Chair of the important Assembly Education Committee in her second term. In 1998, Lynne was named national "Freshman of the Year" by the National Republican Legislators Association; and an "Outstanding Freshman Legislator of the Year" by the California School Boards Association.

Lynne has been honored by a number of public policy and grassroots organizations for her hard work on behalf of small business, the taxpayer, the environment, health care and public education. Her honors include such organizations such as the California Chamber of Commerce, the National Tax Limitation Committee, the Association of California School Administrators, the Walnut Creek Education Foundation, Save Mt.Diablo, the Association of California Water Agencies, and the Contra Costa Breast Cancer Partnership.
