SAMCEDA's Rosanne Foust Named as One of 'The Top 10 Most Influential People' in San Mateo County

"Finally, here is the top 10 most influential people in San Mateo County. Not to diminish this list before I even, you know, list it, but I caution: It is not scientific or definitive. It is a fun exercise, that is all."

"2). Rosanne Foust, president and CEO of the San Mateo County Economic Development Association. A once-moribund organization, Foust took over in 2008 and SAMCEDA has grown into the leading, some would say exclusive, voice of business in the county. The association’s 140 members are the largest private employers in the county. SAMCEDA stays out of the political fray, but the organization’s role in policy, especially as it affects business, is central to most successful countywide initiatives. Foust’s positive, consensus-building manner has made her a sought-after figure on local boards and commissions."
