People are the heart of success for the California Emerging Technology Fund. There is no substitute for leadership—individuals in all segments of the community and at all levels of government taking personal responsibility to make something happen. From the very beginning, CETF identified building partnerships with community leaders as a bedrock concept in its Strategic Action Plan.
