The second annual California Economic Summit, held in Los Angeles, attracted the usual cast of characters, regional leaders, like educators, civic and business leaders, and economic developers.
This year, there was a new voice, providing healthy and meaningful discussions in the overall work of the Summit: the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West labor union. President Dave Regan talked about being at the Summit and how labor can help in economic development and workforce issues.
If California is going to continue moving forward, moving in the right direction, it takes all sectors, all voices from the regions to come together.
