Foster City Invites Residents to Participate in Community Impact Summit

Foster City residents have a rare opportunity to participate in the Community Impact Summit, a forum for community and business leaders from across San Mateo County to network and exchange ideas.

The Community Impact Summit will be hosted by Foster City Television on Wednesday, June 1 at 6:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers at City Hall. The event is free, but pre-registration is required. Due to limited availability, tickets will be confirmed in the order in which they are reserved or “wait listed” in sequential order.

"The Community Impact Summit  will feature excerpts from "So Right So Smart," an independent film distributed by The Video Project," organizers said in a statement. "The film depicts and encourages Corporate (Social) Responsibility in generating environmentally conscious models for large and small businesses; and offers a captivating narrative detailing real world examples of innovative sustainable business practices that fill a dual role of being good for ecology and commerce. "

Along with the film, discussion topics will include business, environment, education and government. Scheduled panelists include Seth Baruch from Deloitte Consulting LLP, Rosanne Foust of the San Mateo County Economic Development Association, Bruce Klafter from Applied Materials, Craig Moyer of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, Walter Ruzzo from Gilead Sciences and John Stockham from Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company.
