Welcome citizens of Stockton and San Joaquin County to the Virtual 2020 State of the City presented by Mayor Michael Tubbs.

I am honored to greet you all on behalf of our 2019-20 Chamber President Doug Dinjian, our board of directors, our members, our outstanding chamber staff, and our most generous sponsors!

We look forward to Mayor Tubbs presentation as he shares with all of you where we have been and a roadmap to where we are going together into the future.

We as a community, state, nation, country and yes, the entire world have experienced something that has sadly turned our lives upside down, but what has been so wonderful to see is that the vast majority of folks did in fact work as one to move forward to the light at the end of the tunnel and a hope of a stronger and better life for all!

As we move to a new dawn we must remember that businesses of all sizes and nonproďŹ t organizations have also suffered and it is incumbent on all of us, within our means, to help them recover as much as possible!

With that in mind we thank Mayor Tubbs for asking us to recognize and thank those businesses and nonproďŹ t organizations who have been loyal sponsors of past community events and in particular for this 2020 Virtual State of the City event! Please see the sponsor listing in this program.

May I leave you with a slogan memorialized by the United States Marines Corp that I feel it is so apropos now as we start to move forward together as one and that is: improvise, adapt and overcome!

May God bless all our citizens now and into the far future!
