Maybe They'll Cut Their Conference Fees
I'm not in the habit of posting press releases, but thought this was interesting news for this audience:
Philadelphia, PA, December 5, 2006: The Alliance for Regional Stewardship (ARS) announced today that it has been awarded a $1 million challenge grant to further its growth and development as the nation's only public-private organization dedicated to building strong regions. The grant was made by Becky and Jim Morgan of Los Altos Hills, CA.
Becky Morgan, a former elected County Supervisor and State Senator in California, and former CEO of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, was a co-founder of ARS in 2000. Her husband Jim Morgan is Chairman of Applied Materials, Inc., a Fortune 150 supplier of products and services to the semiconductor industry, headquartered in Santa Clara, CA.
Written and compiled by staff writers and editors, GOVERNING View is an on-the-ground, and sometimes behind-the-scenes, look at the topics we're covering in print and online. From notes on what's up in statehouses, county courthouses and city halls, to encounters with people, places and things, GOVERNING View is a window into the side of state and local government you don't always see.
