A note from our Sr. Director: A busy San Diego summer
There’s nothing sweeter than a San Diego summer: The days are longer, the weather is stunning, and there’s no shortage of reasons to get outside and reconnect. In true EDC fashion, our Annual Dinner was just the beginning—we’ll continue to bring together business and community leaders across our binational region all season long. We’d love to see you there!
