VOTE LIZ WEBB
For RUSD School Board
Reed Union School District Board of Trustees
Incumbent
I am currently serving on the Reed Union School District Board of Trustees and I’m running to retain my seat as the incumbent in the upcoming election on November 3, 2020. As a Board Trustee, I am committed to supporting our District to provide an exceptional academic and social-emotional education for all RUSD students. I believe that all children deserve an excellent education and should receive the necessary support and resources to thrive in an inclusive and equitable educational environment.
My priority is to act in the best interest of all of our students and to listen to the needs of our parents, educators, residents and local businesses in order to make the best decisions for our District and our community. Now more than ever we need stability, adaptability and collaboration as we navigate these uncertain times, and I am hopeful that you will elect me to continue to serve you for another 4 years. More
Background and Education
My husband and I have three children in the District attending Reed (2nd grade), Bel Aire (4th grade) and Del Mar (6th grade). We moved to Tiburon in 2013 and were soon welcomed by many families who were part of the Reed Union School District. We were thrilled that our children could attend such a well regarded public elementary school.
I have spent my career as a researcher and a small business owner, and my job has always been to listen to key stakeholder objectives and to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills, based on sound research, to deliver actionable insights. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania in International Relations, Political Science and Communications. More
District Volunteer Experience
Prior to joining the school board, I volunteered on both the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) and the Foundation for Reed Schools for 7 years. While serving on the PTA I volunteered as a room parent, yearbook coordinator, Bel Aire play photographer, Regatta volunteer and Reed Treasurer. For the Foundation, I helped with fundraising as Co-chair of the Directory (3 years) and Co-chair of Scholar’s Circle (1 year).
I also served on the RUSD Strategic Planning Collaborative in January 2020, and I worked for the 2019 Measure E: Parcel Tax Renewal campaign. Being a volunteer has been a wonderful experience and has helped me get to know our students, teachers, families and local community partners. I am so grateful for the experiences that I have had as a volunteer in this district. More
Community Volunteer Experience
I am currently the Treasurer of Children of Shelters (COS), a non-profit organization based in San Francisco that is dedicated to providing educational and enrichment opportunities to children living in the shelter system. I have served on this board for 8 years. I believe that all children deserve the opportunity to learn and to thrive under any living condition.
COS helps under-served youth in San Francisco by providing educational services including in-shelter tutoring, tuition assistance, access to cultural activities, after school programs, health and wellness opportunities, and enrollment in summer camps. Our goal is to enable children with access to enrichment resources that build confidence and develop essential learning skills to help them thrive and break the cycle of poverty. More
