Our Guest Speaker
Former Mayor of Palm Springs

The Honorable Ron Oden

Mr. Oden began his career in community and political involvement in 1990 when he moved to Palm Springs and began teaching as an adjunct Sociology instructor at College of the Desert. In 1995 he was elected to Palm Springs City Council only five years after he arrived in the city. While on the council he advocated for social causes and in 2003, was elected Mayor of Palm Springs.

As a City Councilmember and as Mayor Oden worked tirelessly to promote respect for diversity through organizations such as the Palm Springs Human Rights Task Force, the Palm Springs Human Rights Commission, and the Palm Springs branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

 

Oden, who served as mayor until 2007 brought international recognition to the city of Palm Springs as a top destination resort. During his term the city’s budget doubled as it experienced more growth than in its entire history. In recognition of his success as a humanitarian and civic leader Oden was honored with the 300th golden star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars. Ron Oden lives in Palm Springs and continues to work in the public sector.
