Join us next Tuesday at the Chamber for a conversation led by Joe Head, CEO of SummerHill Homes and former San Jose City Council member, about the work of a collaboration initiated by the American Leadership Forum and Joint Venture Silicon Valley. This grass-roots effort seeks to end the impasse that is California State Government.
Their ambitious plan to engage thousands of people in a collective effort to bring reform to the State of California turns on meetings like this Breakfast Briefing to discuss what can be done in a “bottoms-up” approach to fix our archaic and dysfunctional public processes.
Joe Head, is a senior fellow of the American Leadership Forum, Class VI. Having worked for both builders and local government for many years, Head has an extensive understanding of the homebuilding industry. As a San Jose City Council member from 1989 to 1994, he served as Vice Chair of the San Jose Redevelopment Agency.
The SILICON VALLEY COLLABORATIVE for REFORM is seeking partners who agree…
The time is now. Amidst crisis arises opportunity. California has been laboring under the weight of governance and fiscal policies that inhibit change and progress. Californians have lost faith in our political leaders. And, yet, possibilities abound to reassess our values as a state, and to craft a future that responds to the hopes and dreams of all Californians. This is an exceptional moment in history and an opportunity for Silicon Valley to take a leadership role in reviving California. Silicon Valley has the resources, visionaries, and political clout to help move a reform agenda that will serve the common good. There has never before been greater awareness of the problems combined with the feeling of urgency that the public is experiencing today. It is time for Silicon Valley to stand up and lead.
