The report provides a basis for developing the innovation plan for the region. It also provides the background data and analysis for further assessment of the regions potential as an innovation hub. The research was commissioned by the steering committee of the Innovation Tri-Valley Initiative. The steering comitee conducted the research in a relatively short four-week period and prepared this report. The report consists of six sections and they are: 1. Executive Summary; 2.

  • Tri-Valley Innovation Plan, 2010 July 22, 2010 Innovation Tri-Valley Plan Outline
    Tri-Valley Innovation Plan, 2010 July 22, 2010 Innovation Tri-Valley Plan Outline • Background • Vision • Initiatives • Innovation Tri-Valley Organization • How you can help 2 What is Innovation Tri-Valley? We are Innovation Accelerators Innovation Tri-Valley (ITV) started as a commitment between key business leaders to organize an effort to interconnect the businesses, research labs, educational institutions and civic leaders in a common and aligned vision to fully leverage the assets and potential of the region. The group "rmly believes that with a united effort we can accomplish more to help our regional businesses grow and scale, resulting in job growth and community vitality. The Tri-Valley is endowed with world-class business assets. They include 11 of the top 50 companies by revenue in the entire Bay Area, the #1 largest company in revenue in the Bay Area, a high concentration of Gazelles (fast growing companies), two National Labs, and a workforce and student base that is as well positioned and accomplished as the talent base in Silicon Valley. We also have a high quality of life, with a vibrant combination of wineries, restaurants, shopping areas, recreational parks and facilities, entertainment venues, and a Mediterranean climate. Based on a study of other regions that have successfully created innovation hubs for job growth while enriching business and cultural assets, we have concluded that there are several keys to success that the Innovation Tri-Valley effort will employ: • Vision: Establish a shared vision of success among business, educational, and civic leaders. • Leadership: Engage the executive leaders of key organizations in direct leadership and visionary roles of a regionally focused organization.

  • Senior Director of Development Fannie & John
    SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FANNIE & JOHN HERTZ FOUNDATION http://hertzfoundation.org The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the Fannie & John Hertz Foundation in the search for a Senior Director of Development. The Senior Director of Development will be responsible for developing the major gifts program in the western U.S., deepening and expanding engagement with and philanthropy from individuals, foundations, and corporations as well as directing and managing the national annual giving program. The Senior Director will build and nurture a community of philanthropic leadership to support the work of the Hertz Foundation, manage a portfolio of major gift donors, and develop and direct a sophisticated stewardship program for all donors. The Senior Director reports directly to the President of the Hertz Foundation, and will work closely with her and other senior leaders, including the Foundation’s Board of Directors. The Senior Director will serve as the lead staff contact with the Board’s Development Committee. The Hertz Foundation’s mission is to provide unique financial and fellowship support to the nation's most elite PhD students in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering. The Hertz Fellowship remains the only PhD program in the United States that funds the full five years of the PhD; moreover, fellowships are free of most traditional restrictions. Rare individuals have the opportunity in their careers to elevate, inspire, and significantly impact others through their bold innovations and leadership. During the Foundation’s 60 years, Hertz Fellows have achieved that ideal. The Foundation’s track record is one of extraordinary success in identifying and funding these celebrated leaders in science and technology, early in their careers, and then nurturing them throughout the years via an international network of Hertz Fellows, known as “the Hertz Community.” The Foundation, alone, doesn’t “declare” the success of its Fellows.
