The impact of Sutter Health’s not-for-profit mission, to enhance the health and well-being of the communities we serve, reaches far beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics. As one of Sacramento’s oldest and largest employers, Sutter Health helps drive economies across the region. I joined the GSEC Board to actively work to enhance and promote the Greater Sacramento region so other businesses can benefit from all that this vibrant community has to offer, just as we have.

James Conforti,

Chief Operating Officer, Sutter Health

It is important to be a GSEC Board Member as it allows me to listen to other business and government leaders in our community share what they are executing within their own organizations and how we can develop our marketing and business plans in concert to allow all of our entities to become one giant orchestra operating in harmony, creating a better and more powerful Greater Sacramento region. If we can attract and create new employment opportunities in the region, it will drive needed tax revenue and can provide additional public services while enhancing quality of life.

Chairman and CEO, Sacramento Republic FC

I know that vibrant communities are central to California’s health – and the well-being of all Californians. Health Net and I share that vision with the Greater Sacramento Economic Council. It’s why I’m proud to partner in common purpose: to transform the health of our communities through strong, person-centered economic growth and development.

With thoughtful attention, we can create the thriving job opportunities that current and future residents need to make Sacramento home. We have an especially powerful moment now, as we emerge from the pandemic, to reshape business models from what we’ve learned. It’s an exciting time to collaborate for the future we all want.

Brian Ternan,

President & CEO, Health Net, Inc., a Centene Company

Greater Sacramento is a spectacular region, and I know of many other business leaders who feel the same way. I watched from a distance as some of the business leaders in our community banded together to form the Greater Sacramento Economic Council to get us back to where other business leaders see this area as a great place. As the Council went from idea to reality, I’ve been very impressed by the leadership, the message and the results. I joined the Board to help with the funding so that we can bring more non-government jobs to the region, and move our reputation from an outdated Cow Town to the world-class city that we are.

It is a privilege to live, work and raise a family in the beautiful Greater Sacramento Region. We have a responsibility to preserve and enhance that experience for everyone who lives here. That is why AKT continues to invest in the Greater Sacramento Economic Council.

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.

Garry Maisel,

President And CEO, Western Health Advantage

I believe in Greater Sacramento. The power of our community is inspiring and I’m thrilled to advocate for this region. Early in my career, my office was at the corner of 5^th and J Street – overlooking Downtown Plaza. Now, I’m in The Sawyer Tower, overlooking Golden 1 Center, Downtown Commons and the Koons sculpture – an incredible testament to what this city can do. I believe the transformation of Greater Sacramento has just begun and I’m excited to play a role in it.

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.

Gayle Garbolino-Mojica,

Superintendent, Placer County Office of Education

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.
