Journalist, Author, and Advocate

Maria Shriver is a mother of four, an Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist, a seven-time New York Times best-selling author, an NBC News Special Anchor, the founder of Shriver Media, and co-founder of the mission driven brain health and wellness brand, MOSH. She also founded the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement (WAM,) which in February 2022 joined forces with the Cleveland Clinic to

become WAM at Cleveland Clinic, where Shriver now also serves as a Strategic Partner for Women’s Health and Alzheimer’s. A trailblazer for empowering women, Shriver uses her voice and her platforms to advance some of our nation’s most pressing issues affecting women and women’s health. In 2010, she broke new ground when, in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, The Shriver Report: A Woman’s Nation Takes on Alzheimer’s reported for the first time ever that women are at an increased risk for the disease. She also worked tirelessly on behalf of women and families, particularly those living on the brink of poverty, during her time as First Lady of California from 2003-2010. Shriver’s life and career are driven by her fervent belief that everyone has the ability to be an “Architect of Change” and make the world a better place. Her media company Shriver Media, and its newsletter The Sunday Paper, seek to inspire hearts and minds and elevate the voices of others who are moving humanity forward as well. Shriver’s latest books, New York Times bestseller I’ve Been Thinking and its companion I’ve Been Thinking…The Journal offer wisdom, guidance, encouragement, and inspiration for those seeking to create a meaningful life of their own.

 For more than three decades, Leadership Contra Costasm has brought together a group of 30 strangers from across the Contra Costa region and asked them to step out of their everyday lives, open their everyday minds, and imagine a better Contra Costa region—and their role in creating it.

Leadership Contra Costasm is a nine-month program that brings 30 county residents together to explore the different aspects that make up our daily lives. Through monthly day-sessions that include in-depth looks at arts and education, media and communications, business and economic development, sustainability, criminal and civil justice, health and human services, and government and political processes, each class member is given the opportunity to learn what makes a truly vibrant civic life.
