Guest Speaker
Speaker: Gwen Dailey
Introduced by: Diane Stauffer
Introduction
Diane Stauffer did the introduction of Gwen Dailey. Diane said that Gwen was very much interested in education. If Stockton had more people like Gwen, it will be a better place. Gwendolyn Dailey is the President and CEO of the Dome of Hope Organization, Inc, which teaches independence and interdependence through four foundational pillars of E.T.T.A: Education, Technology, Trade, and Arts. Additionally, she is the President of Dailey Solutions, LLC, a new staffing agency, and business consulting firm. To add, Gwendolyn is a proud “Tiger!” A double alumna of the University of the Pacific and currently re-enrolled, pursuing her doctorate in Education.
Gwen Dailey
Gwen thanked Diane Stauffer for the introduction and the Rotary Club of Stockton for having her. She acknowledged Dr. Kathy Hart and Ann Johnston in the audience whom she had always looked up to. Gwen said she was born in Phoenix, Arizona and was 8 months when her parents decided to move to Stockton as the education was free over here. She is one of the 14 siblings of 12 girls and 2 boys. The age range between her siblings between the ages 58 to 78. She said her family has been residing in South East Stockton since 1964. She dropped out of grade 10 and then later completed her GED. She told that there were hardy any books in the school of their area. Instead of books they had the weekly readers. She worked in the Stockton Police Department for 8 years under the leadership of Chief Ed Chavez. She had to resign to become a full time caretaker of her mother. She did this for 11 years and then went back to school to fulfill a promise she had made to her mother. She went to Delta College and then to University of the Pacific. She graduated in 2013. She thanked Denise Jefferson who was coordinated to get her name out for raising money for UOP tuition based on financial hardship. She did get help from an anonymous donor as well. Gwen said she had a stroke 6 weeks before her UOP graduation. She recovered and then started in the Master’s program of UOP and earned her degree.
Dome of Hope was created by Gwen and initially, the organization mission was to serve the residents of Southeast Stockton, with efforts in education, financial literacy, community resources, empowerment and simply providing help to those who were in need. For decades, the Dome of Hope has gained the respect and earned trust of the residents, throughout the community. Their broad scope of focus was beginning to take effect in the sustainability of the underserved residents. In doing so, several programs were organized to meet the vast need of the people, such as, an Urban Reading Circle, Parental Engagement Team, Mobile Tutorial, Employment Readiness Training Sessions, Resume building practices, Career Expositions, hosting Inspirational programs, teaching life skills courses as well as feeding over 800 homeless residents during their annual Thanksgiving Day Community dinner and more. Since then, the Dome of Hope has restructured, expanded and modified their mission and programs to a regional efforts, in order to meet the increased need and viability of a larger population of residents, throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Their inclusivity practices and structure extend to all ethnicities, ages, genders, and socioeconomic statuses. The renewed mission focus is, to teach independence and interdependence through a balanced lifestyle of E.T.T.A. (Education, Technology, Trade, and Arts). These four foundational pillars of Education, Technology, Trade and Arts, is an acronym of the founder’s mother, Mrs. Etta Mae Ford, who was a community advocate and resource for the Stockton residents. Her example of community and compassion, has allowed the Dome of Hope the structure in which they continue to provide an array of services which will create an opportunity to serve and equip the whole person, families and ultimately produce an effective change of empowerment and elevation in achieving HOPE of a greater self and healthier lifestyle.
