Energy efficiency coordinating committee, the Small Business seat. I feel like this position and this seat and serving the committee could be in line with my personal and professional life in addition to the advocacy in my history being in the city for Small Businesses and affected communities. So my family has a corner store and building in San Francisco. I grew up there so ive been around the business since i was young and now im taking more of an ownership managerial role. We have equipment dating back to the 1970s in our store, and this is a pretty common reality for a lot of old Sole Proprietor independent businesses in the city.
