Earlier this month, we sent you a copy of "Silicon Valley 2010: A Regional
Framework for Growing Together." This vision describes who and where Silicon
Valley residents want our region to be in 2010. It includes 17 goals for the economy,
environment, society and regional stewardship and suggests using progress measures
to evaluate how well we are doing in reaching these goals.
The broad vision for Silicon Valley 2010 states: "We will use our entrepreneurial spirit
to create a strong foundation of regional stewardship, so future generations can enjoy
Silicon Valley's broad prosperity, healthy and attractive environment and inclusive
communities." More than 2,000 community members assisted the Vision Leadership
Team, a representative group convened by Joint Venture, in developing this vision for
our region's future.
One of the goals of Silicon Valley 2010 is to create a regional dialogue about this
vision. As part of this effort, we are asking elected leaders from cities, counties,
state and federal governments to pass the attached "Resolution of Commitment"
to this broad vision and engage in a dialogue about our region. As a representative
of those who live, learn, work and do business in the Valley, you are critical to its
future.
To move forward with the vision, we have set a final target date of January 6,
1999 for receipt of the signed Resolutions. To facilitate this effort, a member of the
Vision Leadership Team or Joint Venture staff is available to speak to your elected
body if you so desire. Please contact Katie Ryan at (650) 965-7882 to arrange a
presentation. We would also appreciate a copy of the resolution with the vote
recorded on it. Please send it to Joint Venture's office at 99 Almaden Boulevard, Suite
700, San Jose, CA 95113.
Thank you for your support of this important community effort. Working together, we
can shape the future of our Valley.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Q. MorgitP4
