On November 2, 2010, we held a forum at UC Irvine featuring Joseph Dunn, Managing Partner of The Senators’ Law Firm. Mr. Dunn is the former CEO of the California Medical Association, as well as a former California State Senator who represented California’s 34th Senate District in central Orange County and led the state’s investigation into Enron’s involvement in the 2000-2001 energy crisis. He spoke about how our communities and the larger regional global context are changing and the need for visionary planning strategies and processes to ensure a thriving future for the golden state and its metropolitan regions.
