Board of Directors

High-quality schools that offer a continuum of educational options is a huge asset that Placer County is able to offer to businesses and families considering moving to the region. Education is a critical piece of why people move here, alongside work, housing and lifestyle. Placer County is one of the largest counties in the Greater Sacramento region and I’m proud to bring this perspective to GSEC’s Board of Directors.

Elk Grove’s membership in the Greater Sacramento Economic Council is critical for the City to achieve its economic development goals and further our strategy of regional partnership as well as leadership. By serving on Greater Sacramento’s Board, I am able to ensure Elk Grove’s voice is being heard as decisions affecting regional growth and prosperity are being made.

I look forward to being an active participant in the pursuit of GSEC’s aspirational goals, as well as, a stakeholder in the creation of a high yield Greater Sacramento ecosystem that is competitive, productive and works for everyone.

As a life-long resident of Sacramento, I am honored to join with other CEOs and elected officials in helping grow Greater Sacramento’s economy. I am so proud to see Sacramento fast becoming a destination for quality jobs, innovation and investment.

Attracting and retaining business in California can be particularly challenging. In the Greater Sacramento region, our job is made easier by an incredible partnership between the major private sector stakeholders and local governments – the Greater Sacramento Economic Council. Together, we are working to make the Greater Sacramento region the obvious choice for any business that wants a physical presence in California.

I joined the Board to support the Capital Region’s economic development and to collaborate with businesses and entrepreneurs in our region. The Greater Sacramento Economic Council is a catalyst for innovation and growth, ensuring we are poised for success and competitive. I’m proud to be part of it.

The Greater Sacramento region is finally serious about sustainable economic development. GSEC is a powerful partnership between government and business that is focused on improving the economic environment of our region so that all of our citizens benefit through increased jobs and investment. I feel it’s important to serve on the GSEC Board to help guide our region through this time of increased growth and competitiveness.

The fun of our business is finding new ways to grow and add value into the next generation. Sacramento’s our home base for development in the Western US, and it has a deep pool of talented, well-educated young people to help us drive that growth. We’re looking forward to the next 75 years!

Sacramento State graduates over 9,000 students per year. These students need good, high paying jobs, and they want to stay in the Sacramento Region. I joined the Board of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council because GSEC is not only retaining jobs in the region, it is also bringing jobs, great jobs, to the region.

Health is more than what takes place in a clinical care environment. The socioeconomic health of a community is what leads to healthy neighborhoods. Being on the GSEC Board affords us the opportunity to connect with business leaders who share our hopes, dreams and aspirations for making Greater Sacramento an extraordinary place to live.
