8 MIGRATION AND GLOBAL HEALTH AWARDEES Location: The California Endowment, 7 th Floor 1111 Broadway Oakland, CA Dr. Robert Ross Robert K. Ross, M.D., is President and Chief Executive Officer for The California Endowment. During his tenure at The California Endowment, the foundation has focused on the health needs of underserved Californians by championing the cause of health coverage for all children, strengthening the capacity of community health centers, improving health services for farm worker and ex-offender populations, and strengthening the pipeline for bringing racial and ethnic diversity to the health professions. His passion and leadership in using philanthropy to reach those in need of healthcare in California has been consistently shown through a variety of innovative programs and initiatives that utilize multidisciplinary approaches to improving the health and well being of residents in low-income communities. Dr. Ross has been actively involved in community and professional activities at both the local and national level. He served as a member of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, on the board of the National Marrow Donor Program, on the President s Summit for America s Future and as chairman of the national Boost for Kids Initiative. Prior to taking the Endowment s helm in 2000, he served as director of the Health and Human Services Agency for the County of San Diego from 1993 to He was Commissioner of Public Health for the City of Philadelphia from 1990 to He earned his undergraduate, masters in Public Administration and medical degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. Councilmember Gil Cedillo First elected 14 years ago in the Assembly, Cedillo has remained first and foremost, a public servant. He is currently a member of the Los Angeles City Council for District 1, succeeding Ed Reyes after his election on May 21, Cedillo was a Democratic member of both the California State Assembly and the California State Senate. He contends that the Immigrant agenda is an American agenda. Cedillo s advocacy on behalf of marginalized communities is legendary. He has become the voice for society s least, last and lost. His causes have ranged from becoming a formidable counterweight to Proposition 187 and Pete Wilson s inhumane crusade against undocumented families, up to his unwavering support for Filipino American World War II veterans, the uninsured, low-income families, the homeless and most recently, AB 540 or the dream students. His Cedillo-Alarcon bill pumped $50 million into infrastructure funds for community clinics serving the uninsured, low-income, mostly undocumented patients. He has also authored close to a hundred bills that were signed and chaptered into California law by four different Governors, namely: Pete Wilson, Gray Davis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown. Most were groundbreaking legislation that covered California s Brownfields, state oversight and fair share zoning for city transitional and emergency homeless shelters (SB 2), workers right to organize (AB 1889), downtown rebound (AB 2870) and more recently, the groundbreaking California Dream Act (AB 130 and 131). 10 th Summer Institute on Migration and Global Health 8

9 Assemblymember Luis Alejo Luis A. Alejo was raised in Watsonville, a small agricultural town in the heart of California s Central Valley. From an auspicious beginning, Alejo developed a sense of personal commitment to helping his community. In 2013, as California State Assembly member for the 30th District, Alejo proved his commitment by authoring landmark legislation on behalf of the disadvantaged and underrepresented throughout California. After finishing his graduate and professional studies, Alejo began his legal career, championing the rights of working families as a staff attorney for California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation and the Monterey County Superior Court. Representing thousands of individuals who couldn t afford private attorneys, Alejo helped disadvantaged families face a myriad of legal problems. Alejo was first elected to the Assembly in November 2010 to represent the 28th Assembly District, which consisted of San Benito County, the Salinas Valley, North Monterey County, South Santa Clara County and the city of Watsonville. In November of 2012, he was re-elected to the Assembly as the representative of the newly formed 30th Assembly District. Alejo s new district now contains a greater portion of the Monterey County coast and south Santa Clara County. Currently, Assembly member Alejo sits on four standing committees. During his first term in the State Assembly, Alejo focused on bringing jobs back to California as well as authoring legislation in the areas of education, healthcare, public safety, civil rights and public access to government. In his second term, Alejo built on his success by authoring, among others, two historic pieces of legislation in In addition, Alejo managed to get AB 10 signed into law, raising the minimum wage in California to $10 an hour, the highest in the nation. Income inequality has always been a pressing issue for Alejo, whose first bill as an Assembly member proposed raising the minimum wage. AB 10 was the culmination of three years work and helps ensure equality and respect for our state s minimum wage workers.
