His work reflects a belief that second chances when met with responsibility and service can produce leaders who uplift entire communities.
Additionally, he organizes family-centered events, such as the annual father-daughter dance and community, and more recently, the mother-son dance and annual holiday toy drives.
Paul's journey is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of giving back.
Paul, today we celebrate you along with community and want to thank you for continuing to inspire others to rewrite their stories and uplift their communities.
Thank you.
I don't speak for Vicki.
She has her hand on my back and speaks through me.
Members of the Board of Supervisors, honored colleagues, and members of the public, my name is Marvin K. White, and I am the Minister of Celebration at Glide Memorial Church.
And on behalf of the Glide Memorial Church congregation, clients, and community, the Glide Memorial Church Board of Directors, Reverend Dr. Gina Fromer, our CEO and President,
of the Glide Foundation, we know that there are moments in the life of an institution, really in the life of a city, when we pause not because the work has ended, but because someone has carried it so faithfully that we must stop long enough to say thank you.
Today we join in honoring Victoria Vicki Lee, whose 47 years of extraordinary service span nearly the entire modern life of Glyde Memorial Church and its evolving relationship with the Glyde Foundation.
As you've heard today that Vicki came to Glyde as a young woman seeking work that mattered.
She was drawn by the radical invitation of Cecil Williams and shaped under the visionary leadership of Janice Meerkatani.
She entered the community ready to serve, ready to build, and ready to take her place in a movement rooted in unconditional love, justice, and liberation.
From the beginning, Vicky became the quiet constant across nearly five decades of social transformation.
Her tenure spans the defining eras of our city
and our congregation from the post-civil rights and women's liberation movements of the 1970s through the AIDS pandemic and sanctuary movement of the 1980s, from the racial justice, reckonings, and welfare reform battles of the 1990s into the 2000s marked by LGBTQ marriage struggles, post-9-11 solidarity, and the rapidly changing San Francisco.
But across every decade and through every political shift, cultural upheaval, and institutional evolution, Vicky remained the steady heart of the church office.
She held our archives in her memory, our schedules in our hands, and our community in her care.
Her work was rarely on the stage, but it was always the reason the stage could be set.
