Public Policy & Government Affairs Committee Meeting

This session will focus on two issues with direct implications for our business community:

Workforce Pipeline & Free College
Dr. Aaron McVean will discuss Senate Bill 968, a proposal to make the San Mateo County Community College District’s Free College program permanent. This initiative has the potential to expand access to education, strengthen the talent pipeline, and support long-term economic growth across our region.

The Future Workforce Starts with Children
Leaders from Children Now will share insights on The Children’s Movement, highlighting how early investment in children directly impacts workforce readiness, economic mobility, and the long-term health of our business environment.

These conversations are not just about policy—they’re about the future of our workforce, our competitiveness, and our region’s economic vitality.
