Nov05_408Under the strong, steady, humble and consistent leadership of one Steve Ryan, senior partner and chairman of the government relations practice of the law firm of Manatt, Phelps based in Washington, D.C, our founding regional board chairman, this board has really set a standard in many ways for how things get done. It is because of Steve’s strong leadership that we were able to build our first Inner City Cyber Cafe in South Los Angeles, and Steve and the board – most specifically Celie Niehaus and Matt Geary from E Trade Financial – that we even have a HOPE Center in Anacostia. Bravo…

A special thank you to participating board members in this meeting, including Sandy Braunstein of the Federal Reserve System, Alyson Klug, president of Citigroup Mid-Atlantic States, Brian Jones of Dell, Lionel Savage, an executive with First American Corp, Bernie McKay, vice president for Intuit Corp, Susan Mason, president of the Intuit Foundation, new board member Ed Stucky, managing director of Republic Risk Management, amongst others…

Onward, with HOPE
