Carol Brinkman, GSMOL State Secretary
Despite being a child of the sixties, nothing in her career prepared Carol Brinkman to be an activist – until her home was threatened!
She gradually emerged as a leader in her park’s successful fights against two exorbitant rent increases, an assault on its rent control ordinance and a punitive attempt to convert her senior park to all-age. GSMOL provided the template for action and Carol became the foot soldier. A fire had been ignited and she is now active in GSMOL serving as State Secretary and Chair of the Legislative Action Team for 2018-19.
She continues to serve as her local GSMOL President & Legislative Contact and HOA Vice President in San Juan Capistrano.
