Oakland Life Enrichment Committee

Members

The talk-time ranking for the Life Enrichment Committee is held

Fewer than four members can be compared fairly. Each member’s page has their clips and meetings. The minutes below count only speech we named by voice, so they are floors, not a ranking.

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
Attendance

Roll calls at 15 of 15 meetings, through Sep 22, 2026

From the clerk’s own record, listed by seat. This is the official attendance record. It is separate from our voice counts, and we don’t compare members on it.

How the record counts. The roll call at the start of the meeting: present, excused or absent. A member marked excused who arrives later stays excused in the record; we count those arrivals separately.
