Communication Working Group

What is the Communications Working Group?
Given the current economic downturn, San José has limited marketing resources yet must market the city effectively to expand our local economy.The Communications Working Group was created in Mayor Reed’s March 2009 Budget Message to improve coordination between the various departments and outside groups who receive City and Redevelopment Agency funding to market the City of San José. The Communications Working Group will report regularly to the CED Committee. The first report to CED is scheduled for September 29, 2009.

More background is available here.

Communications Working Group members
The Communications Working Group is chaired by the Mayor’s Public Information Office and includes representatives from the Redevelopment Agency, the City Manager’s Office, the Airport, the San José Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, the San Jose Downtown Association, and the San José Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Each of the preceding has one vote, although more than one staff member may attend the meetings. The Chair of the Community and Economic Development committee will have non-voting representation at the meetings.
