I've only seen three of those individuals out there in the community doing things with the community rolling up their sleeves. I judge a person's commitment and activism by their ability to walk arm in arm with other activists.

The others I am suspecting because of their high-ranking positions with corporations? what? do they give to Valle Del Sol is that what buys you an award these days? or is it that they got promoted to a position that they may help in asking for funds.

What ever .....
