As a Councilmember, Isadore created the quarterly Business-2-Business Breakfast Roundtable to facilitate and strengthen these relationships. More than 200 people attend these events to learn how to start and grow their businesses, how to both collaborate and compete locally and what it takes to be successful in a global economy.

In November 2001, Isadore was elected to the Compton Unified School District Board of Trustees where he served two consecutive terms as president (the youngest president in the history of the district). Isadore advocates better access to higher-paying jobs for our youth and he’s determined to ensure that our community’s children are provided the educational and vocational opportunities to prepare them for the fast-paced, technologically evolving workplace.

In order to build the foundation of knowledge, which he believes every child needs, Isadore:

• The employment of additional code-enforcement officers to keep our community clean and curb urban blight
