Downtown Development

The goal of the committee is educating and engaging members on efforts to increase vitality in downtown San Jose as well as create programs that have a significant local impact and offer volunteer opportunities for members of our Club. We provide information about projects in downtown San Jose; engage with principals having knowledge of projects. Collaborate with organizations and agencies like Downtown Association, SPUR, city of San Jose, SVO, etc.

For more information or if you would like to join the committee, please contact Co-Chairs Jeff Hare and/or Emily Ruvalcaba
