ROTARY LUNCHEON: How California is turning the promise of stem cell and gene therapies into reality
Aug 09, 2022 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

Kevin McCormackCalifornia’s State Stem Cell Agency has helped cure a fatal immune disorder in babies, helped blind people see again, and restored speech and movement to stroke patients. All of this is because the voters of California created the state’s stem cell agency, making the state a global leader in the field.

Today's speaker, Kevin McCormack, is the director of patient advocacy at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). He considers himself to be the official translator for the agency, working to turn complex language about equally complex science into everyday English that anyone can understand. Before joining CIRM, he spent more than 20 years working as a journalist, covering sports at the BBC before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to do health and medical reporting.

E-MEETING: California's State of the State
Aug 16, 2022 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

Dan WaltersDan Walters, political commentator, editor, and author, shares how the state of California is doing and where it is going. Mr. Walters has been a journalist for more than 60 years, spending all but a few of those years working for California newspapers. At one point in his career, at age 22, he was the nation’s youngest daily newspaper editor.

He joined The Sacramento Union’s Capitol bureau in 1975, just as Jerry Brown began his governorship, and later became the Union’s Capitol bureau chief. In 1981, Mr. Walters began writing the state’s only daily newspaper column devoted to California political, economic and social events. In 1984, he and the column moved to The Sacramento Bee, and in 2017 to CALmatters.org, a nonprofit news organization specializing in California issues. He has written more than 10,000 articles and his column appears in dozens of California newspapers, as well as those in other states.

Mr. Walters has written about California and its politics for a number of other publications, including The Wall Street Journal, and in 1986, his book, The New California: Facing the 21st Century, was published in its first edition. The book later underwent revisions and became a widely used college textbook about socioeconomic and political trends in the state. He is also the founding editor of the California Political Almanac and the co-author of The Third House: Lobbyists, Money and Power in Sacramento, published by the University of California. Mr. Walters frequently appears on CNN, Fox, and other networks, commenting about political developments in California.
