Last week, Secretary Tong provided a keynote address at the 6th US-China Sister Cities Summit in Tacoma, Washington. Tong advocated for continuing to promote California’s rich culture and economic power with the Chinese people through respectful dialogue, people to people exchanges, and sharing ideas about remaining committed to a lasting promise of respect and openness. She also shared a willingness to facilitate bringing more giant pandas to the state, maybe even to her hometown of Elk Grove 😊. Many new friendships were started while old friendships were rekindled once again. We’d like to thank Sister Cities International and the City of Tacoma for their incredible hospitality. Both were tremendous hosts for everyone who traveled near and far for what was such a culturally inspiring event.
A huge thanks to the Governor, First Partner and our featured speaker Guy Kawasaki for making this year’s State Leadership Summit a memorable event. We shared a lot of laughs and gained insight from our panel discussions about leadership and innovation tools. And yes, there was time for a quick game of State Family Feud, which was quite fun. Thank you to everyone involved, especially our GovOps team and the May Lee Complex staff for all their hard work putting together such a fun event.
