SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Solano Partnership Against Violence was approved as an advisory board of the Board of Supervisors in 1999 to advise the Board on issues of family violence. SPAV is tasked with promoting awareness of family violence issues and with providing the Board with advice on programs, funding, and policy issues designed to end family violence in Solano County.
SPAV continues to recruit new members, drawing from law enforcement, community-based organizations, Board of Supervisors representatives, adult survivors of domestic violence, as well as medical, faith based and social service agency representatives.
Mr. Le has been active in issues relating to health and has served on a number of health-related boards and committees since 2009, including the National Association of Community Health Centers, George Washington University Dept. of Health Policy, California Dept. of Health Care Services, Partnership Health Plan of California, Manatt Health Consulting, and currently on the California Primary Care Association.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
