🌟 As EDC celebrates 60 years and continues to drive an inclusive regional economic development strategy, our outgoing Board Chair Jennie Brooks has passed the gavel to Tom Seidler, EVP, Community & International Impact of the San Diego Padres. 🌟 “It was my brother Peter who first asked me to represent the Padres on the EDC board," Tom shared. "I am honored to take on this new role [of Board Chair] and work even more closely with EDC’s team. Our mission is to drive greater inclusion, innovation, and growth across San Diego in order to better elevate our people, businesses, and identity on the global stage." "EDC’s employer-led, data-driven approach makes crystal clear the needs of the economy and the onus of the business community in making a difference,“ said outgoing Chair Jennie Brooks, EVP at Booz Allen Hamilton, who served a three-year term that saw EDC’s largest headcount and budget during a time of post-pandemic economic recovery. "I know Tom will continue this important work and set us on the right path for EDC’s next 60 years.” “As a beloved San Diego leader, Tom is perfectly positioned to lead EDC in this unique moment in time,” said Mark Cafferty, EDC's President & CEO. “With a national climate as challenging as this, Tom’s humility, leadership, and deep understanding of San Diego’s strengths and opportunities are exactly what the organization needs as we strive to make San Diego a model for the nation and the world.” ➡️ Learn about our regional work, our board, and how you can get involved: (fb)
