Partners Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network Russell Hancock, President and Chief Executive Officer Established in 1993, Joint Venture provides analysis and action on issues affecting the Silicon Valley economy and quality of life. The organization brings together established and emerging leaders—from business, government, academia, labor, and the broader community—to spotlight issues, launch projects, and work toward innovative solutions. http://www.jointventure.org Sustainable Silicon Valley Marianna Grossman, Executive Director Sustainable Silicon Valley (SSV) is a collaboration of businesses, governments, and nongovernmental organizations that are identifying and addressing environmental and resource pressures in the Valley. As its first initiative, SSV is engaging prominent Valley organizations to work toward self-imposed goals of reducing regional carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The SSV approach is to facilitate strategies to reduce CO2 emissions through increased energy and fuel efficiency and through the use of renewable sources of energy. SSV envisions a thriving Silicon Valley with a healthy environment, a vibrant economy, and a socially equitable community. Sustainable Silicon Valley’s mission is to lead the Silicon Valley community to create a more sustainable future by engaging and collaborating with local government agencies, businesses, and community organizations to identify and help address the highest priority environmental issues in the Valley. http://www.sustainablesiliconvalley.org ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability USA Michelle Wyman, Executive Director ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability is a membership association of more than 1,000 local governments worldwide—more than 500 in the United States—committed to advancing climate protection and sustainability. Through technical expertise, direct network engagement, and the innovation and evolution of tools, ICLEI strives to empower local governments to set and achieve their emissions reduction and sustainability goals. http://www.icleiusa.org 2005 Daly City Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory iii
