Successful Sister City Delegation to Shanghai
www.sfshanghai.com
Dear Friends & Colleagues -- We're back from China where we represented the San Francisco / Shanghai Sister City Delegation during "San Francisco Week" (June 18 - 25) at the Shanghai World Expo. It was an incredible experience, and one which forged a host of new connections: culturally, politically and for business.
Led by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom & Sister City Chairman James Fang, the City's official Delegation to the World Expo included former Mayors Frank Jordan and Willie L. Brown, Jr. -- the first time that three such urban executives joined together on such a trip. Other high level Bay Area representatives included California Supreme Court Justice Ming Chin, Marvell cofounder Weili Dai, whose company was the presenting sponsor of the trip, San Francisco Assessor Phil Ting, attorney Joe Cotchett, PG&E's Vice President of Corporate Environmental Affairs Steven Kline, ChinaSF Director Ginny Fang, United Airline's Vice President James Keenan, San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau CEO Joe D'Alessandro, Visa's Nathan Nayman, Leo Lin of Monster Cable, Lawrence Lui of the Hilton Group, San Francisco Port Chair Rodney Fong and Mary Lau, widow of San Francisco / Shanghai Sister Committee original chairman Gordon Lau.
