Candidate for
Board Member; Marin Community College District

Greg Brockbank is a 38-year resident of Marin County, and for the past 20 years, he has been a civic and political activist while practicing law. He has also been elected to countywide public office four times as a trustee of the Marin Community College District, serving from 1989 to present.

Greg attended local public schools and graduated from Hastings Law School in 1985. His daughter, Amy, was born in 1985, and his son Brennan in 1986. In 1996 he married his second wife, Jorie Rose, an attorney who currently works as a nonprofit event coordinator.

After graduating from law school, Greg established his own general civil practice, and currently is the owner of Marin Law Center in San Rafael. He feels that his 20 years of helping mostly low-income clients solve their legal problems has given him valuable insights into the problems and needs of our legal system.

Also immediately upon graduation from law school, Greg became active in Marin's Democratic Party. He is the senior member of the Democratic Central Committee of Marin, and the longest continually active member of the Marin Democratic Club, having just completed five years of service as Club President.

He has also chaired the boards of numerous nonprofit civic organizations, and served on many others (see "Public Service" record). He currently serves as President of the Social Justice Center of Marin, and on the boards of other organizations as well.

In his "spare" time, Greg is a self-confessed "newspaper junkie". He has also been a jogger and road racer for 26 years, running seven marathons and a triathlon in the early and mid-eighties, and still jogs several miles several times a week.
