The North San Diego Business Chamber held a very successful “State of the Region” luncheon. Board of Equalization Member Diane Harkey gave the keynote address which covered California’s current economic outlook while also highlighting the many ways that the Board of Equalization and her personal staff can assist with businesses in the region so they create jobs and put California on the path to prosperity.

Member Harkey’s keynote address was followed by a panel of tremendous San Diego leaders including Assemblyman Brian Maienschein, Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood, and San Diego City Councilman Mark Kersey. The panel was moderated by Northrop Grumman’s Cynthia Curiel.

Special thank you to Chamber President Debra Rosen and her staff for the opportunity to address a packed room of exciting business leaders. Many thanks to Carl DeMaio for the wonderful introduction and invitation, as well as, event sponsor Northrop Grumman and event host Sony Corporation. San Diego North Business Chamber is a fantastic chamber and excellent voice for businesses in the North San Diego County region.
