Our Top 40 SMEs

At our August 11, 2010 Symposium at SDSU, these 50 thought leaders looked ten years into the future and identified where public agencies and the San Diego region need to move in order to maximize opportunities and minimize risk and better serve the people of the region.

These 50 Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) deliberated and discussed - using the latest research and their own knowledge - to wisely advise the region's political and industry leaders in clear directions and steps toward a better future.

Their work continues through the White Paper and through future ongoing quarterly meetings to strategize implementing their cutting edge ideas.
