Silicon Valley Leadership Group In May, the Leadership Group and Silicon Valley execs went to D.C. and met with Congress and the Obama Administration. We discussed issues ranging from health care reform, to climate change and cybersecurity. We were surprised - but prepared - when while we were there the President announced changes to the way compan...ies' overseas earnings are taxed! The trip was a big success, and thanks to everyone who attended!

Silicon Valley Leadership Group
On March 6, 2009, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group brought together the Mayors of San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland to sign a compact, agreeing to work on 10 action items to impact climate change on a regional level. The 10 action items are:
1. Establish an example reference standard for “baseline” green bu...ilding and rooftop solar practices by the end of 2010;
2. Incentivize and encourage transportation mode-shifts, such as networked work locations, bicycling and public transit, to reduce 2008 baseline gasoline consumption 3% by the end of 2013, and 8% by the end of 2018;
3. From a 2008 baseline, increase by 30% the use of renewable sources for electrical energy by the end of 2013 and by 50% by the end of 2018;
4. Through conservation and energy efficiency, reduce electrical energy usage in buildings from a 2008 baseline by an average of 10% by the end of 2013 and by 15% by the end of 2018;
5. Increase the available blue and white collar “clean and green workforce” course/trainings by the end of 2013 and help place 20,000 trainees and graduates in the labor force by the end of 2013;
6. From a 2008 baseline, decrease community water consumption by 15% by the end of 2013 and 20% by the end of 2018 and increase water recycling rates by 10% by the end of 2013 and 15% by the end of 2018;
7. Develop and adopt municipal and organizational climate adaptation plans by the end of 2013 to increase resiliency to the impacts of climate change;
8. Implement a common, ongoing region-wide public information campaign by the end of 2010, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase community resiliency;
9. Increase solid waste diversion from landfills to 75% by the end of 2013, and achieve zero waste by the end of 2020;
10. Increase the number of zero emission and other advanced ultra-low emission light duty vehicles to 10% of municipal fleets by the end of 2013, and to 25% by the end of 2018.

Senator Barbara Boxer has been a key champion on several issues of great importance to Silicon Valley – including the Repatriation of Foreign Earnings, blocking onerous “Buy American” provisions in the Federal Stimulus Bill, and Clean & Green Tech issues.
As Committee Chair of the Environment & Public Works Committee,... she will be playing a leadership role on Climate Change legislation and the new Transportation Re-Authorization Legislation planned for this year.
Boxer will be addressing the Silicon Valley community on how newly crafted federal policy will be affecting Silicon Valley. With so many critical decisions of importance to our Valley happening this year in Washington, D.C., I truly hope you will join us for this timely conversation. We expect to sell out, and hope you will register ASAP.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the leadership group at 408-501-7864.
