Invent, Invent, Invent!

I had the pleasure of attending the 3rd Annual Higher Education and Research Leadership Summit coordinated by the Monterey County Business Council and the Competitive Clusters Higher Education & Research Cluster this past week. Check out the website for more information at www.edres.mcbusiness.org I was happy to see the beautiful brochure they've produced that describes the more than 20 higher education and research institutions in the region. A strong believer in lifelong education, I know that these organizations will continue to add to the quality of my life and all residents and visitors to Monterey County. 

At the conference, they quoted Thomas Friedman, the Pullitzer Prize-Winning Journalist who said earlier this year, "We might be able to stimulate our way back to stability, but we can only invent our way back to prosperity."
