Silicon Valley Recovery Roundtable Final Report — Click here to download!
Overview
The Silicon Valley Recovery Roundtable (SVRR) is a group of Silicon Valley leaders from the business, education, labor, and social sectors who have come together to chart a path to a Better Normal for all members of the Silicon Valley community.
Composed of 59 CEO’s, leaders and thinkers from business, education, labor and non-profit sectors that represent communities from across the region, the Roundtable was tapped to make policy recommendations to local and regional governing bodies to ensure political leaders are best positioned to harness state and federal resources to tackle challenges brought on by the pandemic and those that have become more urgent because of it. In doing this work, the group identified many cross-sector opportunities to bolster the efforts of policymakers.
To facilitate that conversation, the SVRR created the Mayors’ Circle, a group of leaders representing 32 cities that comprise Silicon Valley.
About the report
The first action of SVRR was to produce “Building a Better Normal,” a comprehensive report that details key steps the entire community of Silicon Valley can take to make the community better coming out of the pandemic than when it started.
SVRR intends to continue its work through an open-source approach that takes advantage of the marketplace of ideas offered in the report. Members will continue cross-sector collaboration and track progress on key recommendations.
