ROGER SMITH, Community Leader, Founder of Friends of Palo Alto Parks
Trained as an Olympic athlete, I know what it takes to stay focused, how to represent a team and to create a lasting legacy.
My philosophy
“Get to the end of the pool as fast as possible, has been the driving force behind my career, propelling me to achieve results efficiently. To ensure Palo Alto progresses swiftly, we must streamline the approval process and eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles."
