  • Women and Equality
    WOMEN AND EQUALITY A California Review of Women’s Equity Issues in Civil Rights, Education and the Workplace California Senate Office of Research February 1999 Dedicated to Senator Rose Ann Vuich Rose Ann Vuich was elected California’s first woman state senator in 1976 and served four terms through 1992. Although a Democrat by registration, she built a reputation as a political independent who shunned deal-making. Throughout her legislative career, Senator Vuich represented her San Joaquin Valley district first and foremost and relied on her own knowledge and judgment to do it. She was reared on a farm in Tulare County, where she has spent most of her life. With a degree in accounting from the Central California Commercial College in Fresno, she worked as an accountant, tax consultant, estate planner and office manager before her election. After becoming a senator she continued, with her brother, to manage the family farm in Dinuba. The California State Senate began to change after Senator Vuich joined its ranks, followed over the years by other women. She kept a small porcelain bell on her Senate floor desk, and would gently but insistently shake it whenever a colleague addressed the “gentlemen of the Senate.” The Senate chamber originally had no women’s restroom. But that oversight permitted Senator Vuich, during a Capitol restoration in the late 1970s, to design a comfortable “Rose Room” where she and women members into the future could retreat from the Senate floor. A daughter of Yugoslav immigrants, Senator Vuich achieved many “firsts,” from serving as the first woman president of the Dinuba Chamber of Commerce to becoming the first woman to preside over a Senate floor session in 1986.

  • Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime Sector in Mexico
    Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime sector in Mexico Commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency Report by Marko Teodosijević - Embassy of the Netherlands in Mexico Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime sector in Mexico Investment opportunities in the Port Development Sector Early 2019 Preface In this report current and future business opportunities in the Mexican port development sector are identified. This report is the product of a detailed examination of Mexico’s plans for the development of its ports and maritime sector. The aim of the report is to map business opportunities for Dutch companies that operate in this sector and want to collaborate in Mexico’s sustainable port development programs. It is the objective of the Dutch Embassy to promote a mutually beneficial collaboration between Mexico and The Netherlands in the context of Mexico’s ambitious drive forward in the development of its port and marine sector. Complementary to the available information published by the different governmental institutions, this report includes insights of several stakeholders from the Mexican government and local port authorities. Altogether, the information provided in this report is the product of information gathered from Mexican public institutions combined with information provided by key companies that possess expert knowledge regarding sustainable port development. Firstly, a schematic overview of the institutional port framework will be laid out in order to have a basic understanding of the institutions that have the authority over ports in Mexico and how they are regulated. The agencies in charge of ports will be the primary line of contact for companies who are interested in the development opportunities that will most likely crop up in 2019 and beyond.

  • Borderless Innovation, Co-Authored by Kenn Morris, MBA; Nathan Owens, MA; and Mary L
    DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH A REPORT BY WITH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF DECEMBER 2005 GOBIERNO DEL ESTADO DE BAJA CALIFORNIA Acknowledgements This report on Borderless Innovation, co-authored by Kenn Morris, MBA; Nathan Owens, MA; and Mary L. Walshok, Ph.D., is part of a much larger effort, the Crossborder Innovation and Competitiveness Initiative, which is the current focus of the San Diego Dialogue, a program of UCSD Extension. The research underlying this report and the publication of the final document – in both English and Spanish – has been made possible by the generous support of very good friends and colleagues in Baja California, including: the State of Baja California; CENTRIS, an economic development collaborative in Tijuana; and CICESE, a federally funded science and technology research center in Ensenada. Equally generous was the support from Wells Fargo Bank, the City of Chula Vista and UCSD Extension’s program development funds. Our funders provided more than financing. CENTRIS, in particular, was the key partner in the execution of this report and we owe a special debt of gratitude to Rodrigo Gutiérrez Sández and Ulises Elías. Individuals from CICESE who were especially helpful include: Carlos Duarte Muñoz, Laura Robles, Dr. Arturo Serrano Santoyo and María Mendoza Díaz. The impetus for our overall effort comes largely from Baja California Gov. Eugenio Elorduy Walther, a long time supporter of the San Diego Dialogue. His enthusiasm for building a clearer understanding of the dynamics of the crossborder region as a first step to launching an aggressive “call to action” which would accelerate economic development on both sides of the border, has been an inspiration to us all.
