Hilary Crosby, Delaine Eastin, and Kimberly Ellis will share their perspectives on the California Democratic Party at the DWMC luncheon.

Former gubernatorial candidate Delaine Eastin is the only woman ever to serve as State Superintendent of Public Instruction in California. Eastin promoted universal preschool and full-day kindergarten and she was a champion for public libraries, wiring schools for technology, and stronger technical and vocational training. She advocated for statewide standards, accountability, smaller classes in K-3, increased parental involvement and teacher training. 

Kimberly Ellis is the Founder of Unbought - Unbossed, an incubator for the next generation of political disruptors. As former Executive Director of Emerge California, a training program for Democratic women who run for office, Ellis is a nationally recognized Progressive leader. Recently, she was a candidate for Chair of the California Democratic Party. 

As Controller of the California Democratic Party  (CDP) for 8 years, Hilary Crosby brought over 30 years experience as a finance professional to the position.  Her proudest achievement was founding and running the Donate Every Month (DEM) program that raised significant unrestricted, grass roots funds to finance the CDP Door Hanger program. Crosby is a CPA and co-founded Crosby & Kaneda, a woman owned auditing firm serving nonprofit organizations. 

Please note this is the annual DWMC Business Meeting.
