On Wednesday, December 12, Bay Planning Coalition helped facilitate an Executive Briefing for Key Stakeholders on the US Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Transformation efforts.

Joseph Calcara, Pacific Division chief, Josephine Axt, LA District chief of planning, and Steve Stockton, US Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Director presented to a group of over 50 people.

Saxon-Hamilton organized and chaired the meeting, and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission generously donated the meeting space.

The briefing was extremely productive, and a follow-up meeting is already being planned for February or March of 2013.
