Mark your calendars: March 31st, 2009.

I am proud to be co-organizing the first annual Santa Cruz Summit. It is an event that is sure to positively transform the local community professional dynamic as we move forward in this challenging and uncertain economic climate. It will be a gathering of the best minds and talent that Santa Cruz has to offer, all working toward the common goal of strengthening and centralizing the resources that help our community thrive.

I am confident in the belief that Santa Cruz, when given the opportunity, will continue to grow and flourish as a leader in thought, design, talent, technology, entrepreneurship, and economic development. This is that opportunity.

Here are the objectives:

1. ASSEMBLE thought leaders in economic development, entrepreneurs, and community stewards in Santa Cruz to share visions of the future for our community and what action steps we are taking to achieve our common goals.
2. CELEBRATE the amazing talent, companies, and resources available in Santa Cruz and explore how we can present ourselves to the world.
3. INSPIRE a higher level of civic involvement from citizens as we continue to build an authentic and vibrant community.

I hope to see you there. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of an event that will undoubtedly shape the landscape of our community, now and in the future.
