Celebrating 10 Years of ‘THRED Talks’


Join SAMCEDA as we celebrate 10 years of “THRED Talks” at our upcoming 73rd Annual Meeting featuring "THRED Talks" - Weaving Our Region Together event!
In 2016, SAMCEDA launched “THRED Talks” to spotlight the bold ideas, visionary leadership, and collaborative action shaping the future of our region. Created as a platform for innovation and dialogue, "THRED Talks" explores how communities, industries, and institutions rise to meet the complex challenges and extraordinary opportunities that come with change.
More than a speaker series, "THRED Talks" is a movement to weave our communities together. The word “THRED” reflects the interconnected issues that define our future: Transportation, Housing, Healthcare, Resiliency, Renewal, Recovery, Regionalism, Economy, Equity, Environment, Determination, Development, and much more.
Each conversation is designed to connect people, spark new thinking and inspire action across sectors, bringing together leaders who are committed to building a stronger, more inclusive, and more resilient San Mateo County and Silicon Valley region.
This year's event will feature five amazing and powerful speakers:
- Benjamin Jaros - Research Fellow, Hoover Institution
- Natalie Holmes - Senior Researcher, Community Engagement and Analysis, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
- Patrick A. McLaughlin - Research Fellow, Hoover Institution
- Kara Newport - President & CEO, Filoli
