Carlsbad Republican Women (CRWF) welcomes
Aaron Byzak, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Solutions for Change, and Sophia Fang, Human Rights Activist

On February 24th, the Carlsbad Republican Women (CRWF) welcomes two unique speakers! Aaron Byzak, longtime friend to CRWF, is now the recently appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer of Solutions for Change. Sophia Fang, human rights activist, describes herself as “someone who grew up in China and wised up in the U.S.” Please join us for a lively and interesting meeting!

Aaron Byzak
As the newly appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer of Solutions for Change, Aaron brings more than 30 years of leadership experience across healthcare, government, non-profit organizations, and social impact work. Aaron has been connected to Solutions for Change for years as a strategy consultant and educator. He teaches his career-development primer, Three Strides Forward, to participants in the Solutions Academy, impacting dozens of families in the program. Aaron spent 20 years on the board of the North Coastal Prevention Coalition (NCPC) and has also held senior executive roles across hospitals, healthcare systems, and public institutions. He recently served as Interim CEO of Grossmont Healthcare District and previously in senior executive positions at Tri-City Medical Center and UC San Diego Health.

Sophia Fang
Sophia Fang immigrated to the U.S. in the 1990s and has worked in the telecommunications field since graduate school, including as a U.S.-based freelance writer for The Epoch Times. Sophia also volunteers her time on human-rights related projects and often speaks to local groups on the rich cultural heritage of China and its impact on western society. She feels Chinese people like to describe the history of China with a phrase which is the title of her speech – "Ups and Downs of 5,000 Years." Fang definitely feels there are plenty of ups and downs in the 5 millennia of civilization. In her presentation, Sophia Fang will enlighten us on the changing phases of this unique culture including the Cultural Revolution of Mao Tse Tung!
