Remembering Supervisor Chan and Her Legacy
Dear Alameda County community,
I would like to extend my gratitude to the community for your moving remembrances of Supervisor Wilma Chan these past few weeks. Nearly 2,700 community members joined us – both in-person and online, from California to the East Coast – on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, as we honored a dedicated and passionate leader and paid tribute to her extraordinary legacy.
For those who were unable to view the live broadcast, the recording is available on the official County of Alameda YouTube channel: Community Celebration of Supervisor Wilma Chan and her Legacy.
I would also like to thank our speakers for sharing their personal experiences working with Supervisor Chan and their touching tributes to her steadfast commitment to serving and listening to the community, fighting for justice and equity, and changing the world for the better.
We have much ahead of us to carry on Wilma’s work. I am humbled and inspired by the outpouring of support from the many community members who want to step up to do just that. We have a lot of work to do. Her legacy matters. Deeply. Profoundly.
With Gratitude,
Supervisor Dave Brown
Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan Legacy Fund
The Alameda County Board of Supervisors in collaboration with the non-profit Vision Alameda County (VAC) have established the Supervisor Wilma Chan Legacy Fund. The Chan family suggests that donations to honor Wilma be contributed to the Legacy Fund, which will support grants to community non-profits and other eligible programs serving a public purpose in support of Supervisor Chan’s legacy.
We remember and honor Wilma as a champion of community, a fierce leader, and a trusted colleague. She devoted her career to helping the underserved and uninsured, with a passion for children, families and seniors, early childhood education, environmental health, job creation and economic development.
Donations to the Legacy Fund can be made online or by mail. Please visit the Supervisor Wilma Chan Legacy Fund website for more information on donating.
