Orange County Jobs Now Summit

Description

The Orange County Jobs Now Summit is bringing together experts from California and throughout the nation to discuss the economic factors that influence job creation.

During this difficult time, transportation infrastructure projects are helping to create and sustain much-needed jobs. With the foresight of voters in Orange County who renewed Measure M, the half-cent sales tax for transportation, OCTA is now implementing a transportation plan that will create jobs today to build transportation infrastructure projects for tomorrow.

Join us for this important summit with elected officials, industry officials, business leaders, economists and community members. We will share information about how Measure M2-funded transportation infrastructure projects are creating or sustaining jobs now throughout Orange County and to formulate other solutions-based ideas to expedite infrastructure projects for America's future.

Invited Participants:

• Honorable Victor Mendez, Federal Highway Administrator
• Honorable Gary Miller, U.S. House of Representatives
• Lucy Dunn, CEO and President of Orange County Business Council and California Transportation Commissioner
• Will Kempton, CEO of Orange County Transporation Authority
• Honorable Paul Glaab, Vice Chairman of Orange County Transportation Authority
