About this Event
Join SVLG Senior Advisor and former Vice Mayor of San Jose Chappie Jones and Joint Venture Silicon Valley President and CEO Russell Hancock for an engaging conversation about the intersection of government, business, and economic factors that affect our region.
Hancock has been with Joint Venture Silicon Valley since 2003, and is the founder of the Institute for Regional Studies. He also organizes the annual State of the Valley conference and leads publishing of the Silicon Valley Index and Silicon Valley Poll. A civic leader, social scientist, and advocate for regionalism, he also teaches public policy at Stanford University, is a sought-after commentator, and performs as a concert pianist with his chamber music ensemble The Saint Michael Trio.
Joint Venture Silicon Valley is a think tank created and supported by local leaders in business, government, labor, and academia. Through its Institute for Regional Studies, the organization provides research assessing the Valley's challenges and opportunities and offers a platform for leaders to develop shared priorities and take collaborative action.
This casual morning gathering at the offices of SVLG offers a unique opportunity to get insights from Hancock about many of the issues shaping our region. Grab a cup of coffee provided by Coffee and Water Lab and be part of the dialogue.
