Superintendent's Roundtable

Close to 90 Superintendent's Roundtable (SR) members and prospective members attended a special wine tasting event on Monday, May 15, 2006, in support of the El Segundo Educational Foundation (ESEF). In an effort to increase Superintendent's Roundtable-level support for the El Segundo Educational Foundation, current SR members were encouraged to invite friends and/or family members to this unique year-end event. The wine tasting, held at Occasions, was catered by Second City Bistro. Several current SR members renewed their memberships that night and at least six new families, businesses and individuals joined.

The Superintendent's Roundtable plays an important role in the ongoing growth of the Foundation. "When individuals and businesses join the Superintendent's Roundtable, they are elevating their commitment to support El Segundo schools and the efforts of the Foundation," said Chris Sherrill, Chairman of ESEF's Community Giving Committee. "Strong community support makes a statement that encourages local businesses and larger corporations to invest in the future of El Segundo children."

Superintendent Bruce Auld provided guests at the wine tasting with his insights into the state of public education in California. He also shared the El Segundo Unified School District's plan to strengthen instruction to maintain a competitive educational program.

Sherrill said the Community Giving Committee is already planning its next Superintendent's Roundtable event, a dinner to be held next fall. Her goals during her term as chairman include increasing the membership roster, with a focus on younger families and ESUSD alumni.
