Creating Good Jobs For Working People

We want you to invest in quality jobs. Imagine what life is like when you don’t know where your next paycheck is coming from — or if your current paycheck doesn’t pay the bills. We have both a moral and an economic imperative to fuel economic equality and mobility in this country.

Join us and make an impact in the lives of working Americans. Pacific Community Ventures is hosting our 2016 annual event on Thursday, April 14, 2016 in downtown San Francisco. We’ll be asking the question: What are quality jobs and how do we create them? Plus, our new President and CEO — Mary Jo Cook — will lay out our vision for the future of Pacific Community Ventures.

The event includes lunch, networking opportunities with economic development professionals, impact investors, and Bay Area small business owners, and a panel discussion on “How Do We Create Quality Jobs For Working People?” featuring:

• Fred Blackwell (CEO, The San Francisco Foundation)
• Josè Corona (Director of Equity and Strategic Partnerships, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf)
• Krystell Guzman (Owner, La Plazita Preschool)
• Johnny Travis (Owner, FAZE Apparel)
• Moderated by Kellie McElhaney (Professor, Haas School of Business)
