Casa del Prado, Balboa Park
Date: June 27, 2003

On this day City staff, including Deputy Directors from Metropolitan Wastewater Department and Engineering & Capital Projects, as well as project managers and City engineers, met with Consulting firms representatives to discuss the new Equal Opportunity requirements, procedures, and other contractual and working issues in a low-pressure, informal environment. Participants selected their partners in small groups, and engaged in 3 rounds of small-group discussions up to 25 minutes in each round of "Speed Networking".

"I really appreciate all your efforts in making the summit a successful event and for hosting the summit. It was informative, excellently planned, and a wonderful way to have dialogue with both municipal representatives and other consultants."
--- Christina Munoz, Joseph Wong Design Associates, Participant in Speed Networking and Consultant Summit.

"We were impressed with the candor of the three moderators in the session we attended. They were informative, quite candid, and very pleasant in handling some hard questions asked by the consultants. You and your staff and the session moderators made a potentially awkward situation very comfortable!"
--- Tom Chadwick, HDR Engineering, Participant in Speed Networking and Consultant Summit.
