CO FOUNDER & DIRECTOR OF COMUNICATIONS

Frank Noto

Frank Noto is a co-founder and board member of Stop Crime SF and Stop Crime Action. He also serves on his neighborhood association board and a community foundation. He began his community service advocating for civil rights at the age of 14 in support of the Rumsford Fair Housing Act. A native Californian, he moved to San Francisco after overseas service as an Army officer. He then began a professional career in community organizing and public opinion research. Frank doesn’t change his loyalties easily. The son of a Brooklyn native, he grew up idolizing Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella, and remains a Dodger fan after almost 50 years in Giants’ land. He is passionate about public safety, creating housing for everyone, public policy, and family, not necessarily in that order. He and wife Mary live 20 yards away from Willie Mays’ former house.

TREASURER

Everest Mwamba

Everest Mwamba was born in Zaire, which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a teenager he started to make his way to San Francisco after stopping in Belgium and Switzerland to acquire his education.  The tenacity that it took for Everest to take that journey on his own is the same spirit that you will find when you meet him.  He is gracious & happy and respects the opportunities we have living in this country after experiencing many places.  Everest’s ability to focus on important tasks and get things to the finish line is clear.  If you want to meet a disciplined person…you must meet Everest.  He is committed to his family, his clients, and finally his love of fitness.
