SUMMARY:Women's Championship Golf Kicks Off In San Diego
DESCRIPTION:For only the third time in history\, the United States Golf Association will hold a championship in San Diego on August 7-13: The U.S. Women’s Amateur tour at the San Diego Country Club. Putting one on takes a great deal of effort. \nHear from our own Don Tartre and Tom Wilson\, this year’s Championship Director\, about what is going into holding such an event. And we will also hear from special guest\, Jill McGill\, the 1993 USGA Women’s Amateur Champion. We’ll tee it all off at our usual time! \nThe U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship marks the beginning of women’s competitive golf in this country. Along with the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Open\, the Women’s Amateur was one of the USGA’s first three championships. \nThe first Women’s Amateur Championship was arranged on short notice one month after the 1895 Amateur and Open Championships. \nThe following small item appeared in the social column of a New York newspaper shortly after the completion of play: “Thirteen ladies played 18 holes of golf at the Meadow Brook Club\, in Hempstead\, recently. Mrs. Charles S. Brown\, whose husband plays at the Shinnecock Hills Club\, in Southampton\, L.I.\, made the best score and thus won the United States championship for lady golfers.” \nAlthough a stroke-play format was selected for the first championship\, the Women’s Amateur became a match-play competition in 1896\, and has remained so ever since. \nMany U.S. Women’s Amateur champions have gone on to success in professional golf\, including five-time champion JoAnne Gunderson Carner\, whose record of eight USGA titles is eclipsed only by Bob Jones and Tiger Woods (nine). Other notable champions include Beth Daniel\, Juli Inkster\, Danielle Kang\, Lydia Ko\, Kelli Kuehne\, Catherine Lacoste\, Anne Sander\, Pearl Sinn\, Louise Suggs\, Carol Semple Thompson and Bade Didrikson Zaharias.

SUMMARY:Steven Moore\, President\, Moore Worldwide
DESCRIPTION:Love him or hate him\, very few Americans expected Donald Trump to be elected President. Trump’s election comes in the wake of years of Congressional dysfunction. \nSteven Moore spent nearly a decade on Capitol Hill\, serving for 3 ½ years as chief of staff to a member of House leadership. He gives a compelling\, non-partisan\, data-driven presentation explaining the drivers behind Trump’s election\, the logjam that is Congress and the role of the media in both. \nMoore Worldwide is a political strategy\, public opinion research and lobbying firm with experience in more than a dozen US states and eight countries worldwide. \nSteven Moore spent nearly eight years as a senior aide on Capitol Hill\, including 3 1/2 years as a leadership aide. With extensive relationships in Washington and broad experience in political strategy\, Moore brings an array of tools to bear on public policy problems. \nMoore is known for devising data-driven solutions to political problems. During his time on Capitol Hill\, Moore helped redesign constituent communications for House Republicans\, incorporating data mining techniques to improve efficiency of communication. In 2011\, Campaigns & Elections Magazine awarded Moore the “CampaignTech Innovator of the Year” award for his efforts. By helping design the systems for constituent communications\, Moore has unique insights into the most effective grassroots tactics for influencing Congress.

SUMMARY:Dr. Edith Eva Eger
DESCRIPTION:A native of Hungary\, Edith Eva Eger was just a young teenager in 1944 when she experienced one of the worst evils the human race has ever known. As a Jew living in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe\, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz\, the heinous death camp. Her parents lost their lives there. Toward the end of the war Edith and other prisoners had been moved to Austria. On May 4\, 1945 a young American soldier noticed her hand moving slightly amongst a number of dead bodies. He quickly summoned medical help and brought her back from the brink of death. \nAfter the war Edith moved to Czechoslovakia where she met the man she would marry. In 1949 they moved to the United States. In 1969 she received her degree in Psychology from the University of Texas\, El Paso. She then pursued her doctoral internship at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss\, Texas. \nDr. Eger is a prolific author and a member of several professional associations. She has a clinical practice in La Jolla\, California and holds a faculty appointment at the University of California\, San Diego. She has appeared on numerous television programs including Oprah Winfrey and was the primary subject of a holocaust documentary that appeared on Dutch National Television. She is frequently invited to make speaking engagements throughout the United States\, Mexico\, and abroad. \nDr. Eger will share her story of victimization to empowerment. She will also share with us lessons that prove everybody is a survivor of something and that every experience has a gift for us that is for the greater good.

SUMMARY:Dr. Eli Berman- Empirical Studies of Conflict: Implications for ISIS and Syria
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Eli Berman will summarize a decade of research on economics in conflict zones\, and draw lessons for confronting ISIS and stabilizing Iraq and Syria. Using evidence from Iraq\, Afghanistan\, and other conflicts\, Berman will explain why local allies must be induced by foreign powers to provide governance and enable economic development to stabilize Syria and reverse refugee flows. Framing development and security force assistance in that context implies practical policy reforms. \nDr. Berman is Chair and Professor of economics at UC San Diego. He is also Research Director for International Security Studies at UCSD’s Institute of Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). \nIGCC addresses global challenges to peace and prosperity through academically rigorous\, policy-relevant research\, training\, and outreach on international security\, economic development\, and the environment. It brings scholars together across social science and lab science disciplines to work on topics such as regional security\, nuclear proliferation\, innovation and national security\, development and political violence\, emerging threats\, and climate change. \nHis book Radical\, Religious and Violent: The New Economics of Terrorism was published in 2009. Dr. Berman received his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Carl Guardino\, CEO-Silicon Valley Leadership Group
DESCRIPTION:“Lessons on Leadership – Silicon Valley and San Diego’s Innovation Economy” \nAnnually\, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group produces the “Silicon Valley Competitiveness Project\,” with 20 key indicators by which to contrast Silicon Valley with the other five top Tech Regions in the United States\, including Southern California (San Diego\, Orange and Los Angeles Counties)\, Austin\, Boston\, Seattle and New York City. What are the skills and traits each region needs to protect and grow its success? \nCarl Guardino\, one of Silicon Valley’s most distinguished business and community leaders\, is the President and CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group\, a public policy trade association that represents more than 400 of Silicon Valley’s most respected employers. \nIn February 2007\, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Guardino to a four-year term on the California Transportation Commission and has been reappointed twice by Governor Jerry Brown. In 2000\, the San Jose Mercury News named Guardino one of the “Five Most Powerful” people in Silicon Valley\, in a once-per-decade “Power Study.” He received similar recognition in 2010. \nKnown throughout the region as a consensus builder\, Guardino has championed a number of important issues\, especially in the areas of transportation and housing. Most recently\, Guardino led a 3-year effort that culminated in “Measure B” on the November\, 2016 ballot\, which will generate an additional $6.5 billion in local funds for traffic relief improvements. Measure B passed with 71.74% of the vote. As a housing advocate\, he co-created the Housing Trust Silicon Valley\, which has helped 20\,000 families afford homes in high-cost Silicon Valley by raising more than $90 million in voluntary contributions.
