This hearing will come to order. Apologies for beginning a little bit late. We have another vote at about 5 30. I want to thank the four individuals or Witnesses Today for being with us.

This year, and im not just talking about academy awards. Im talking about the progress that we re making after very challenging. Several years as we are bringing our Community Back after covid in the wake of anti asian hate, as we move things forward, and each of you again has been a part of that. I also want to say that San Francisco this year theres so much that we are doing to continue to anchor our status as the Asian American capital.
