Meg's commitment to education is deeply rooted her own experiences. Born in Long Island, N.Y., where her mother ran the household, her father worked in finance. Together they raised Meg, her sister and brother, encouraging them to pursue their education and dreams. She attended public school from kindergarten through the 12th grade. In 1973 she entered Princeton University as part of the fourth class of women to attend the school. Graduated with a degree in economics, went to Harvard Business School to earn a Master in Business Administration. Meg believes that education is a priority for California -- for the parents and the children in our state. Our children need to be prepared for the future, and they can't be without a strong education, especially in math and science. Meg is committed to making sure that every child has that solid education and that California is first in education. California is home for Meg. She and her husband have lived in California for most of the past 30 years. Their two sons were born in California. And this is where they chose to plant roots. As an avid skier, fly fisher, hiker and horseback rider, Meg appreciates the diversity of the environment in California. She loves the outdoors. She respects the beauty of the California landscapes -- the beaches, the lakes, the redwoods, the palm trees and the golden poppies that cover the hills and fields throughout the state. She believes in protecting the environment. Because it's important to the state and our future. |
