UPCOMING SEMINARS:
Friday, November 1, just four days before the end of balloting, will be a Zoom meeting., We will NOT be at Perry’s. Your Zoom link will be sent the week of the seminar. We’ll be with the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley to review their final analysis. Yes, that means we’ll be with seminarian Mark DiCamillo two weeks in a row. What an ideal time for California’s top political pollster to brief the Seminar. That’ll enable those so inclined to place insider bets on the outcome of election for president, Congress and mayor of San Francisco
Friday, November 8 will be the “big roundtable” to analyze the results of November 5th presidential, congressional and city elections. This is your big chance to show your chops as a pundit, whether amateur or professional. If seminarians miss this roundtable, they shall forever after, remain silent on the events of that big day.
Janelle Kellman, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor of California will be Sac Sem’s guest on Friday, December 6. A member of Sausalito’s City Council, Janelle, previously Sausalito’s mayor, holds an undergraduate degree in History from Yale, a master’s in environmental management from Oxford, and graduated from Stanford Law. She has also launched her own technology startup and served as a trusted advisor to technology entrepreneurs. She will be introduced by Seminarian and current Sausalito mayor Ian Sobieski.
Mark your calendar. Sac Sem’s annual Holiday/Christmas/Hanukkah Lunch will be on Friday, December 20.
