California State Assemblymember, 57th Assembly District

Reginald Byron Jones-Sawyer, Sr. serves as the representative for California's 57th District in the State Assembly. He was elected in November 2012 and re-elected in 2014 and 2016. The district includes diverse communities within Los Angeles County, where he introduced Assembly Bill (AB) 912, the Strategic Anti-Violence Funding Efforts (SAFE) Act. This measure reallocates funds from prison closures to support programs that reduce violence and provide vital community services like mental health, education, and vocational support.

Patricia Anton
President, Anton Consulting

Patricia Anton is the President of Anton Consulting, a boutique management consulting firm she founded 22 years ago.

Patricia's remarkable work includes collaborating with The L.A. Trust to develop a custom app and proprietary data collection process. This innovation enables the anonymous linkage of sensitive health records with academic records, such as grades and attendance, without compromising privacy. This breakthrough not only allows for the measurement of the impact of school-based health centers on students' success but also advances public health research by providing a reliable and refreshed clearing house of de-identified longitudinal data for researchers.
