Shigeko Shibata    -  ​As a United Methodist Women I was first introduced to this organization at my local church, Sacramento Japanese UMC.  I have served in various capacities at the local level, Conference level and currently your secretary for the Los Rios District.  I’ve had the opportunity to meet wonderful, talented and spiritual women who help me become a better UM Women.  It’s “you” who have helped me to grow.  Being in this organization has provided me the opportunity to foster spiritual growth through their reading program and has helped me develop leadership skills.  With God’s grace I want to welcome you and share my knowledge putting faith, hope and love in action.  Peace and Grace to you.
Connie Mathew-Warren  -  My local church is Napa First United Methodist. I have been Social Action Coordinator for several years. In this position I have attend many district meeting. The more I learn, the more ways I find to share the love of God. As we learn, and grow, and advocate, we make a difference in our communities.
Rosa Washington-Olson  -  Rosa describes herself as a lover of life, striving to make a difference in someone's life each day.  She has been active in church all her life, especially since 7th grade.
Rosa has represented the national church a a delegate to the first European Methodist Conference in Austria, has been a delegate to the World Methodist Conference three times, a delegate to General and Jurisdictional Conferences and represented the General Board of Higher Education as a delegate to Seoul, Korea.  Rosa has served the Annual Conference, district and Local church in almost every capacity imaginable.
 Rosa has been president of her local unit too many times to remember.  She presently serves as co-president.  Has taught schools of Mission (Mission U) in six different schools and has also served as Assistant Dean.  Served on nominations committee in Bridges District and is now MC of Spiritual Growth in Los Rios District.  Rosa plays in the handbell choir and sings in the chancel choir of her local church, Davis UMC.
 Rosa has a BS in Biology and a masters and doctorate in Special Education. She has traveled extensively, enjoys playing gold, bridge, and playing Yahtzee and Scrabble each day with her husband.  She is a motivational speaker and states that she finds her joy in trying to do The will of God in every way she can.

 ​Linda Schade  -  While I have held several positions in Walnut Creek United Methodist in the past, I have been the Communications Coordinator for the local UMW unit for several years.  The fellowship and ministry of the UMW, along with great friends, drew me into wanting to do more.  So. late in 2019 I volunteered to help the Los Rios District with their communication needs.  Thanks to everyone who is helping with this and I am looking forward to a great 2020! And now a great 2021!
