Seven-dozen commissioners appointed to city commissions and boards were sworn in Friday by San Francisco Mayor London Breed. The ceremonial swearing-in for the 84 appointees brings the total number of commissioners appointed or reappointed so far by Breed to 159.
More than 50 percent of Breed’s appointees are women and a majority are people of color, according to a release from the mayor’s office. Of the total, 15 commissioners are from the LGBT community, including 11 who were appointed or re-appointed Friday.
Adrian Caratowsa, appointed to the Transbay Citizens’ Advisory Committee Member, said the appointment was a chance to give back to the community.
Caratowsa said:
“I’m honored and very excited to be given this opportunity to serve my community even more. It’s the least I can do for a city that has given me so much.”
Eduardo Santacana, Board of Appeals Member, said he was bringing his legal experience to the board.
Santacana said:
“This board hears difficult cases of the utmost importance to citizens of our city.”
“As a lawyer, I will strive in every case to ensure each party receives a fair hearing, and to apply the law faithfully.”
