Kathy Witkowicki stumbled into setting up a wildly successful public speakers program when she failed at being retired (life got boring) and Gavin Newsom couldn't make it to an event, but his interesting, film-making wife could.
The outcome was the Sonoma Speakers Series, an all-volunteer organization that puts together a world-class program with experts on arts, politics, media, science and sports. This week she talks about her journey from retiring from the Mentoring Alliance to starting the Sonoma Speaker Series, as well as what it takes to put it all together.
She also touches on tips for listening to people you don't necessarily agree with and how we can learn from each other.
Like all of our guests she takes a moment to answer YOUR Sonoma questions.

The trees on the Sonoma Plaza are incredible - and some of them are huge. Who manages all of those trees?
Hello- we just moved here from the East Bay and are looking for good Mexican food - especially from Oaxaca and Michoacan. Got any ideas?
Are there ever special wine tasting offers for people who want to try new wineries but don’t want to commit to more elaborate tastings?
We are hosting a dinner party with a diverse group of people, and will be featuring many Sonoma Valley wines. Because the group has varying opinions on so many things, and public discourse seems so fraught, what advice would you give on how to keep conversations civil? Also, should I offer a sparkling wine option?
