April 2006: Annual Corporate Partner Appreciation Dinner

Featured Speaker:
Vintage Foster, Publisher of San Jose/Silicon Valley Business Journal and NAWBO Silicon Valley Corporate Partner

After a 45 minute open networking segment, where chapter members networked with chapter Corporate Partners (the people who help make NAWBO-SV a financially viable organization) Monika Miles, Programs Director, opened the meeting with chapter announcements.

Speaker Vintage Foster discussed the general business and demographic climate and trends in Silicon Valley, encouraging women business owners to get involved in and stay abreast of local politics and issues in San Jose.

He noted that the upcoming mayoral election will be the most important mayoral election in the last 50 years, as the next mayor will shape the way San Jose moves forward as either a “boom-bust” economy (with peaks and valleys from high tech as we’ve been for many years now), or a more stable economy as we move to strengthen the city center and become more of a tourist destination. The next mayor will need to decide where to focus efforts on housing, real estate, venue planning, sporting teams, etc.

Vintage concluded that whether we live (and vote) in SJ or not, we must be aware of what the candidates’ views are and made a few comments about the upcoming voter initiative Measure A, which is a new sales tax initiative that would fund both the administration of BART in SJ (assuming it ever comes here) as well as enhanced indigent health care directives.
