Hosting the Silicon Valley Leadership Group

Echelon recently hosted two events for the Silicon Valley Leadership Group – One on March 15, which focused on the California Cap and Trade Program. Ron did an excellent job of summarizing what we do and the importance of Echelon in the marketplace. The second one was on March 23, which was the Silicon Valley Caucus meeting, sponsored by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. A sample of the day’s attendees included State Senator Elaine Alquist, State Senator Joe Simitian, State Assembly Member Jim Beall (representing Echelon’s district), State Assembly Member Paul Fong, State Assembly Member Jerry Hill, Varian Medical CEO Tim Guertin, Alsop Louie Partners Bill Coleman and Trimble Navigation CEO Steve Berglund and many more. They discussed plans and progress on critical issues such as transportation funding, higher education funding, regulatory streamlining and budget reform – all focused on making California competitive and sustainable while maintaining our great quality of life.
