With special Guest Speaker Maya Madsen:
My name is Maya Madsen and I am the founder and CEO of Maya’s Cookies, America’s #1 Black-owned gourmet, vegan cookie company. I started the business in 2015, after spending 20 years in the fitness industry as a model and spin instructor. As a longtime vegan, I struggled to find a gourmet, decadent vegan cookie that satisfied my sweet tooth so I started baking them myself!

San Diego Unified School Board President
“Improving Student Outcomes in San Diego Unified School District”
The San Diego Unified School Board recognizes that its current governance and accountability practices are not yielding the results we seek for our students, many of whom remain far from educational justice. Our goal is to create the conditions for student improvement in both academic and social emotional outcomes as we know both are critically important to long term success. The school board is conducting community listening sessions to clarify our community’s priorities and will use the feedback we hear from groups like Rotary to shape our 5-year goals. By focusing resources on achieving specific student outcomes, and using data to monitor progress against them, we know we can build a school system where all students reach their potential.

Carl Vonderau
2024-08-22 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Carl Vonderau is an award-winning author of crime fiction. As a child growing up in Cleveland, he loved to write. His ghost stories scared the bejesus out of other kids. But it took a long time to become a full-time author. He left Cleveland to study at Stanford, then spent more than thirty years as a banker in the U.S., Latin America, and North Africa. Those international settings were sources of inspiration for his books. His first novel, Murderabilia was published in 2019 and won a Left Coast Crime award for Best Debut, and a San Diego Book award for Best Mystery. His second novel, Saving Myles, was published in August, 2023.
Working with nonprofits is also important to Carl. He is the president of Partners in Crime, the San Diego chapter of Sisters in Crime, an organization that supports authors and fans of crime writing. He also volunteers with San Diego Social Venture Partners to mentor other nonprofits.
Carl lives with his wife in San Diego. His two grown sons live close by and wonder how he knows so much about serial killers and banking crimes.
