The two from the Valley are Sharon Browne of Davis and Lance Izumi of Sacramento. The appointments are for two years.

These committees receive reports, suggestions, and recommendations from individuals, public and private organizations, and public officials, and forward advice and recommendations to the commission. Members serve without compensation and conduct civil rights reviews and investigations and report to the Commission. Also appointed are: Luis Alejo of Watsonville, James Bolton of Pasadena, Jack Citrin of Berkeley, Marc Dollinger of San Rafael, John Dodd of Tustin, Percy Duran of Los Angeles, Thomas Gray of Culver City, Gail Heriot of San Diego, Joe Hicks of Los Angeles, Manuel Klausner of Los Angeles, Sanford Lakoff of San Diego, Karen Joy Lugo of Riverside, Leonard Mitchell of Santa Monica, Velma Montoya of Los Angeles, Matthew Rosenthal of Los Angeles, and Maimon Schwarzschild of San Diego.Two from Central Valley named to California Civil Rights Panel
