Chair

Although she is a transplant "from" many places she calls home, Caughlan has spent the last 10 years in San Diego. Working on a number of different projects that usually fall into the category of grass roots activism, her anarchist ideals, and stubborn will get her into trouble from time to time. Currently a member of North Park Main Street's Board of Directors, and Owner/Operator of The Rubber Rose, her passion for North Park and community work in general keeps her busy and inspired.

"It takes creative individuals with fixed determination and indomitable will to propel the innovation that society needs to tackle its toughest problems. It shows that an important social change frequently begins with a single entrepreneurial author: one obsessive individual who sees a problem and envisions a new solution, who takes the initiative to act on that vision, who gathers resources and builds organizations to protect and market that vision, who provides that energy and sustained focus to overcome the inevitable resistance, and who- decade after decade- keeps improving, strengthening, and broadening that vision until what was once a marginal idea has become a new norm."
