Dear Progress Seminar Attendees,
As we convene this weekend to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Progress Seminar, it is important to reflect upon what makes this event even happen every year. We believe it can be summed up in a few short words – “We Are One San Mateo County.”
There is something undeniably special about San Mateo County. Maybe it’s because we don’t have one big city to dominate the discussion and bully the political landscape, or maybe it’s because we have to fight together in order to get our fair share against the counties with big cities.
Whatever the reason, we get things done through great collaboration. We don’t hold grudges when we dis-agree, we take care of our own when the going gets tough, and we never give up looking for ways to solve a problem.
In late February, we in San Mateo County were notified that the hotel we sit in today was on a boycott list and authorized for a picket line due to a short-sighted decision to use non-union labor on a major HVAC project at the hotel. Since that day our three organizations have been in overdrive and worked daily to get the right people talking, to influence the hotel ownership group into collaboration with the Monterey/San Cruz Building Trades Council, and to finally bring about the temporary lifting of the boycott which allowed many of us to be in Monterey this weekend.
It’s an example of how when business and labor work together on the issues that impact our members col-lectively, we bring about the best possible public policy solutions to challenges facing everyone from CEOs to our elected officials, from our community organizations to the working men and women of our unions who teach our children, fix our roads, drive our busses, answer our 911 calls, service our hotel rooms, fly our planes, construct our buildings, protect our communities, care for our elderly, and myriad other jobs that contribute to making San Mateo County a great place to live, work and raise a family.
The Chamber is proud to count among its longtime members many labor council affiliates and the Labor Council and Building Trades Council are proud to be a sponsor of this year’s Progress Seminar. We are thankful to everyone who supported our efforts to find a path forward to participating in the 50th Anniver-sary Progress Seminar together as “One San Mateo County”, and we look forward to all we are able to accomplish together in light of this renewed and reinvigorated partnership.
Sincerely,
Amy BuckmasterPresident & CEO Redwood City - San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce

Closing General Session KeynoteHonorable Jackie Speier, United States House of Representatives, 14th Congressional District
Jackie Speier is a fearless fighter for women’s equality, LGBTQ rights and the disenfranchised who has dedicated her life to eliminating government corruption while working to strengthen America’s national and economic security. She was named to Newsweek’s list of 150 “Fearless Women” in the world and one of “Politico's 50” most influential people in American politics for bringing the Me Too reckoning to Congress.
She proudly represents California’s 14th Congressional District, stretching from the southern portion of San Francisco through San Mateo County to East Palo Alto, and serves on the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and as the Chairwoman of the Military Personnel Subcommittee, on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Speier is also Co-Chair of the Congressional Armenian Caucus,
Co-Chair on the Bipartisan Task Force To End Sexual Violence, and the Communications and Policy Chair for the Democratic Women's Working Group (DWWG).
Fighting for Women’s RightsSpeier brought the Me Too movement to Congress in the fall of 2017, with the introduction of her ME TOO Congress Act. It became the basis for the bipartisan Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 Reform Act (CAA Reform Act), which passed the House unanimously in February of 2018. If passed by the Senate, the bill would hold Members of Congress financially responsible if they cut a settlement for sexual harassment or discrimination or if they are found to have committed such acts through congressional oversight andinvestigation.
Scholars Team of the Year and have been honored by local organizations such as Family and Children Services of Silicon Valley and CityTeam for their work in the community. In addition to overseeing all community impact efforts, Gordon helped form the legal structure for The Golden Heart Fund, an independent non-profit established by 49ers alumni Ronnie Lott, Ron Ferrari, Harris Barton, and Brent Jones that aides alumni in need. Gordon is active in league-wide matters and hears appeals as a member of the panel that administers the NFL Player Tuition Assistance Plan and the NFL Severance Pay Plan.
Gordon joined the 49ers in 2011 as director of legal affairs, a role she held for four seasons, before becoming the vice president of legal and government affairs in 2015, then general counsel from 2016-17. Gordon came to the 49ers from the NFL Management Council where she worked on NFL player contracts, salary cap compliance, the 2011 NFL collective bargaining agreement, and labor issues, including the 2011 lockout. Prior to the NFL, Gordon practiced at Latham & Watkins LLP.
In 2015, Gordon was named to the Legal 500’s GC Powerlist – U.S. Rising Stars, and in 2017 received the Sili-con Valley Business Journal and San Francisco Business Times’ Corporate Counsel Diversity Champion of the Year award for the work she did along with 49ers ownership on restructuring the 49ers Denise DeBartolo York Fellowship and implementing a diverse-slate interviewing policy, making the 49ers the first team in the NFL to commit to interviewing at least one woman and at least one person of color for every business opening. Gordon also serves on the Advisory Board of San Jose State’s Institute for the Study of Sport, Society, and Social Change and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Foundation Board.
Gordon holds a B.A. from UCLA and a J.D. from Stanford, where she has served as a Lecturer In Law.
She continues to advocate for fundamental reforms to end the epidemic of sexual assault in the military and on college campuses, and she is leading the fight against sexism in the fields of science and technology and academia overall. And she is at the forefront of efforts to increase constitutional protections against sex discrimination through ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and to end gender-based discrimination in the pricing of goods and services through the passage of the Pink Tax Repeal Act.During her 18 years in both chambers of the California Legislature, she had more than 300 bills signed into law by both Republican and Democratic governors. Speier secured justice for women and children with a series of bills that led to the collection of more than $2 billion in delinquent court-ordered child support payments. She authored a measure that gave the state the nation’s strongest financial privacy law and was integral to the passage of California’s Gender Tax Repeal Act in 1996. Eliminating Government Waste, Fraud, Abuse, and CorruptionCrusading for the safety, health, and rights of all Americans is one of Speier’s driving core principles; from getting tough on big banks to ending taxpayer bailouts, and from eliminating wasteful and fraudulent government spending at all levels to serving as a check on the federal government in the fight against corruption. She is equally dedicated to keeping housing and student loans affordable; protecting private information from cyberwarfare and cyberespionage as well as the dissemination of nonconsensual pornography, or so-called “revenge porn”; and stopping abusive practices like so-called “gay conversion therapy” and discrimination against our transgender military servicemembers. She is also a champion for funding and research for traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s, breast cancer, and gun violence prevention. That includes her dedi-cation to preventing children’s deaths caused by unsafe products and preventable tragedies like the 2010 San Bruno explosion that took the lives of eight people in her District.
Strong on National DefenseAs ranking member of the HASC Subcommittee on Military Personnel and a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Speier is committed to keeping the United States secure from terrorists and hostile nations and honoring and supporting our veterans, military servicemembers, and their families. That means ensuring that American troops have the right equipment to do their jobs and save taxpayers’ money by fighting for improved cyberdefenses and sound management practices at the Pentagon.On these committees, and in her previous assignments, she has led numerous congressional investigations and hearings to protect the public by exposing a lack of oversight and enforcement of our laws and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). That includes violations of UCMJ’s codes of conduct for the use of nonconsensual pornography against servicemembers and wasting billions of taxpayers’ dollars on disastrous programs like the F-35 and LCS. She has passed numerous amendments through the National Defense Authorization process to reduce sexual violence within our military and aid survivors, address misconduct by senior officers, and increase transparency about how our wars are funded and fought.
Prior to CongressSpeier first ran for Congress in 1979, facing a crowded field in a special election for a seat formerly held by Congressman Leo J. Ryan, for whom Speier had served as a legislative aide.The special election was called after Ryan was shot to death in Jonestown, at the compound of the People’s Temple, a cult in Guyana that had previously been based in Ryan’s District.

As a metal recycler, Sims Metal Management transforms society’s obsolete materials into useful raw materials. By purchasing products at the end of their life and processing them back into raw materials used in the manufacture of new products, scrap recycling reduces the need for virgin materials, such as iron ore, coal, and limestone.
