The 2009 Eleanor Roosevelt Award Honoree
Angela Alioto

The Forum honored Angela Alioto, Saturday, June 13, 2009 at the Marines Memorial Club.

Angela Alioto is a committed community leader, an accomplished champion for antidiscrimination in the courts of law, and a devoted citizen of San Francisco. She has always worked to make this a city that respects diversity and is committed to progress and good governance.

Angela AliotoDescribing herself as a "raving lib," Angela has also been described by the Bay Guardian as a hard-headed progressive. The Forum has always been impressed with the creativity she displays in her thinking and problem solving.

She believes in coordinating government with non-profits; she's very much like President Obama when she blames the lack of common sense on those politicians who are supposed to be looking after our interests.

Angela served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, was a former president of the Board, and, today, a civil rights attorney.

She is a mother, grandmother, and San Francisco's favorite daughter.
