About the Show

The Valley Industrial Association's Regional Executive summit brings together community leaders, business executives, government officials and educators from Los Angeles, Kern and Ventura counties to discuss and develop solutions to three of the most critical issues challenging industries in Southern California

· Workforce Housing

· Transportation

· Career/Tech Education and Acquisition and Retention of Skilled Employees

With median home prices exceeding half a million dollars, there is a critical gap between wages and housing costs. Employees are forced to travel long distances to work, jamming our streets and highways for an ever-increasing number of hours every day. Attracting and retaining a skilled workforce in such a market grows more difficult each day.

Attend the 2007 Regional Executive Summit to:

· Express Your Concerns

· Learn about the successes of other

· Discover actions that organization and community can implement

· Participate in an ongoing inter-regional focus group seeking solutions to issues in common
