One of the perks of being a Leadership Miami alumna is that I get to stay connected with some incredibly inspirational folks here in Miami-Dade county-– people who have devoted their entire lives to enriching their communities.
Sandy Moise certainly fits that bill, with an exhaustive record 
of service within the Miami-Dade public school system and numerous organizations serving Miami-Dade’s women, children and families.
So of course I was not 
surprised in the least when I discovered, to my delight, that Sandy had decided to run for Miami-Dade County School Board (D-2). Whether it’s leading a classroom, engaging a group of community volunteers, or spearheading efforts to address the many challenges facing our resource-starved school system, I feel a great surge of hope knowing that someone with such compassion, wisdom, and experience is up for the challenge.
With all the recent tumult the Miami-Dade school system has weathered – budget cuts, sweeping layoffs, punitive senate bills out of Tallahassee that shirk systematic reform– it’s vital that we use our power of the vote (and, yes, our power of the purse) to put people in office who know the issues and are committed to seeing real reform through.
For those of you who live in Miami, there will be a fundraising event for Sandy this Thursday, June 10 from 6-8pm at the law offices of Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton. And, if you cannot make the reception and you would like to support Sandy in any fashion, you can always visit her web site at www.sandymoise.com.
