DESCRIPTION:Honorable Liberian Senator Jonathan Lambert Kaipay, Grand Bassa County will 
 join our conversation at the 2017 Downtown Stockton Juneteenth Business 
 Luncheon.\n\nThe City of Stockton is named after the Commodore Robert Field 
 Stockton, Military Governor of California, who had a long distinguished 
 maritime connection with Africa while helping to establish the Republic of 
 Liberia.  \n\nIn 1821, then-27-year-old Captain Robert Field Stockton 
 commanded the USS Alligator and helped negotiate and finance the return of 
 hundreds of freed enslaved Africans along the coast of present-day Liberia 
 through the creation of the American Colonization Society. In 1847, Liberia 
 declared independence from the American Colonization Society at the 
 Liberian Constitutional Convention on July 16, 1847.  \n\nCommodore Robert 
 Field Stockton served as Military Governor of California, 1846-1847, and 
 died during the US Civil War at the dawn of the end of chattel slavery 
 throughout America, the reason we celebrate and mark the milestone of 
 Juneteenth.   \n\nToday, the Republic of Liberia is a forward looking 
 leader throughout West Africa.  Liberian President H.E. Ellen Johnson 
 Sirleaf, also serves as the Chairperson of the Authority of Heads of States 
 and Government of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is 
 made up of fifteen member countries that are located in the Western African 
 region.\n\nWe are excited to hear new opportunities for expanded California 
 ~ Pan African Trade and Commerce from Honorable Senator Jonathan Lambert 
 Kaipay, Grand Bassa County, as we build toward our 7th Pan African Trade 
 and Investment Conference, September 17-19, 2017 in partnership with the 
 Africa US Chamber of Commerce and Industry.\n\nHonorable Senator Kaipay was 
 born and raised in the Port City of Buchannan and earned his Bachelors of 
 Business Administration in Accounting from the United Methodist University. 
  Mr. Jonathan L. Kaipay is married to Mrs. Frances Goffa Kaipay and the 
 Union is blessed with six children. \n\nSenator Kaipay is a seasoned 
 professional in his area including professional development certificates 
 from institutions in Europe and Africa with a certificate in Project and 
 Financial Management from the Ghana Institute of Management and Public 
 Administration.\n\nGrounded in faithful service, he rose through the ranks 
 of the United Methodist Church from a humble Research Officer at the 
 Connectional Ministries to a full time Director of the Department of 
 Community Services with three active programs under his watch.\n\nIn this 
 position, Mr. Kaipay has been highly instrumental in a growing 
 transformation of Liberia.  The outcome of the selfless sacrifices and hard 
 work of Mr. Kaipay and his team to date has impacted a quarter of more than 
 a million persons around the country and the number is still 
 growing.\n\nHon. Senator Kaipay remains a light for the Bassa people 
 breaking grounds in areas of service committed to meeting the needs of his 
 people and has embarked on several projects aimed at helping his people to 
 get out of poverty.  We look forward to expanding the conversation.\n\nJoin
