Thank you Capitol Weekly for deciding to include me again in this year's Top 100 list. It's such a privilege to pursue policy and budget outcomes for nonprofits I believe in - a dream job for sure. Nobody on these kinds of lists shines without all kinds of support and collaboration from family, friends, colleagues, and clients. And nothing gets accomplished by one person toiling alone. I am grateful to my dear Fearless Advocacy, Inc. colleagues Jeanie and Kiowa, my trusted collaborators and friends like Kim Delfino and Alexandra Leumer, my forever work big brother Scott Sadler, my fearless clients Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Oceana, Ocean Conservancy, The Pew Charitable Trusts, CalNonprofits, OCCIDENTAL ARTS & ECOLOGY CENTER, National Wildlife Federation, San Diego Humane Society, CALIFORNIA WILDLIFE OFFICERS FOUNDATION, Community Alliance with Family Farmers, my supportive husband Jay Chamberlin, and the wonderful community of Capitol colleagues who make this work meaningful, fun, and appropriately (mostly) sporting. [Don't miss the ad at the back of the Top 100 book featuring our rad foster dog Dexter, and contact me if you'd like to meet this now-famous canine! He's a lover, not a serial killer.]
