Tad Parzen, President and CEO of the Burnham Center for Community Advancement, joined the San Diego Business Journal’s The Community of Business podcast for a conversation about BCCA’s work, the importance of bringing people and organizations together, and the role collaboration plays in strengthening the San Diego region.
The conversation comes at a defining time for San Diego, as communities, organizations and leaders look for new ways to build connection and work together across sectors.
“We are at a defining moment for our region, and this is a time to come together, build stronger connections and work collaboratively toward a stronger San Diego.”
Tad Parzen
President and CEO, BCCA
Bringing People Together
At the heart of BCCA’s work is a belief that San Diego can make greater progress when people and organizations work together.
BCCA creates opportunities for leaders from across the region to connect, share perspectives and identify opportunities for collaboration. Through initiatives such as OneSD, BCCA is building a growing network focused on strengthening San Diego’s community fabric.
OneSD now includes 100+ organizations working across sectors and communities. The coalition provides a platform for leaders to build relationships, better understand shared challenges and identify opportunities to move from conversation to action.
Turning Collaboration Into Action
For BCCA, bringing people together is only the beginning. The goal is to create lasting connections that lead to meaningful action.
That work reflects BCCA’s broader mission to help make the San Diego region better by connecting people, ideas and organizations around issues that matter to the community.
The podcast conversation offered an opportunity to share that work with the San Diego Business Journal audience and highlight the importance of collaboration at a pivotal moment for the region.
