At the Oct. 14 Alameda County Board of Supervisors meeting, the board recognized the 2025 Alameda County Arts Leadership Award recipients with commendations. This event was presented in conjunction with National Arts and Humanities Month in October. Doris Green was the recipient from district 1, which covers the Tri-City Area.
Supervisor David Haubert recognized Green’s involvement in the arts community spanning 40 years—in multiple positions with Fremont Cultural Arts Council, as a musician and music teacher, and as a board member with Bay Philharmonic.
Receiving her award, Green said being chosen for the award was “a wonderful surprise.” For arts, “this was like the Nobel Prize. This was the top one.”
She continued, “One thing stands out mostly with me is, the people that you work with in the arts, our volunteers. They give their time and their money, and they’re wonderful to work with. And I’ve decided that that’s the best group of people there are. So thank you very much for thinking of me, and for this unexpected surprise that you gave me, and for your work with the arts. And keep it up.”
There were six award recipients, with a tie for district 5. The full list of award winners can be viewed at arts.alamedacountyca.gov/arts-leadership-award-program.
