Opening Speaker
California’s First Lady - Sharon Davis
She has been called the “First Lady with a mission.” And she is dedicated to ensuring that California’s children have a future full of promise and possibilities. For Sharon Davis, that means strengthening education and providing quality health care for our children.
She visits schools throughout the state to speak about the important reforms enacted by the Governor and Legislature that have resulted in improved student performance. In addition, she encourages students to aim higher and promotes parental involvement in education.
She spearheads efforts to expand and improve school libraries through her work with the Governor’s Book Fund.
The First Lady serves as the official spokesperson for California’s Healthy Families program, which provides comprehensive health coverage for uninsured children.
Over the course of the Administration, she has become involved in a range of other issues, including foster care and mental health. She also hosts the annual Governor’s Conference for Women, the most prestigious one-day women’s conference in the nation.
The issue the First Lady is most passionate about is mentoring. She plays a key role in the Governor’s Mentoring Partnership whose goal is to recruit one million new mentors across the state during the Davis Administration.
She has also participated in the national Habitat for Humanity First Ladies Build program.
