Ditas Katague Made it to the 100 List

What an accomplishment to make the list of 100 influential people in the State of California, 2019. Congratulations are in order. Ditas is number 93!

Here's the write-up:

California wants an accurate census, and here’s just the person to make that happen – Ditas Katague. She is the director of Complete Count, the state office coordinating the census program here. She served on the U.S. Census Bureau’s National Advisory Committee (NAC) on Race, Ethnicities and Other Populations from 2012-2018, and as chair from 2015-18. Earlier, she was the Director of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Census 2010 project, and before that she was chief deputy campaign director for the 2000 census campaign. She also led a multilingual, multimedia outreach effort that resulted in a mail-in return rate that outpaced the entire nation. Ditas most recently served as chief of staff to the California Public Utilities Commissioner Catherine Sandoval. Since 1998, she has served on the Sacramento Center Advisory Board for USC’s Sol Price School of Public Policy.

Three other names in the list that I recognize are:

# 1. Ann O'Leary-Gov Gauvin Newsom Chief of Staff

#17. Jennifer Siebel Newsom-the Governor First Partner instead of First Lady and

#26. Janet Napolitano- First Woman and 20th President of the University of California

In this article it was mentioned that Governor Newsom is planning to run for President in 2024.

I received several congratulations on this article but one I treasured very much is from Bobby M,"The fruit does not fall far from the tree ".
