Today was the 1st day of the Great Valley Center’s Conference “At the Tipping Point” in Sacramento.

I arrived at the hotel around 9:15am; I was originally supposed to be at the hotel at 8:00am.

Staying awake until 4:00am in the morning to complete the CORE 100 final report, I didn’t get more than 1 hour of sleep. I left Merced at 5:30am.

On my drive up, I got sleepy and pulled over in a Denny’s parking lot in Stockton and rested for an hour.

Volunteering for the Conference, I served as the host for the following 3 breakout sessions:

Parks and open space in the Central Valley

Policy makers have a strategy for preserving and planning recreation and park land as the Valley population grows.

Robert K. Foster, Department of Parks & Recreation
Nina Gordon, Department of Parks & Recreation
Larry Orman, GreenInfo Network

What every planner should know about air quality

Air Quality remains a top Valley issue. Planners can provide guidance.

Norman Allinder, RRM Design Group
Mike Hendrix, Michael Brandman Associates
Tom Jordan, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District

Strategies for engaging rural community leaders

Unincorporated and rural areas without structured leadership must create other systems to foster community well-being.

Sergio Cuellar, Youth in Focus
Dejeune Shelton
Jennifer Wood, South Valley Neighborhood Partnership

Also, I heard Tim Quinn, Vice President of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, speak about water economics.

After his speech I spoke with him and he recommended that I visit the Water Resources Center Archives’ website (http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/WRCA/) for more information about water.

Overall, it was an amazing day. I mentally noted early in the day and someone reinforced this point later in the day by mentioning it: more students should attend the conference.

I will work to ensure that more students attend next year’s conference.
