Summary:

Very special thanks to all the Members and special guests for making the event such a successful and energizing event. And thanks to Governor Perry for taking the time to meet Members in San Diego.

Detail:

Governor Perry and the First Lady of Texas joined Members of Gen Next to examine and discuss the remarkable economic success Texas has achieved in the last several years.  The Economist Magazine recently did a cover story contrasting downward trends in California with upward trends in Texas.  Governor Perry elaborated on how their state tackled critical challenges and made the state more attractive to business while staying fiscally responsible.

Gen Next Members were thrilled to be in such an intimate setting with the Governor, who was direct and straight forward in answering their questions.   “This was an amazing experience. It was an honor to talk openly with the Governor and hear his perspective on these pressing issues,” said one Member.
