“Thrive is the connective tissue which interconnects and binds county operations, nonprofits, elected officials, and community leaders contributing to the unique strength that is San Mateo county. Its ongoing commitment to engage and empower communities ensures our future leaders come from the diverse segments of the region to bring their knowledge and lived experience to policy making at all levels. Whether it’s civic engagement, sustainability or COVID-19 response and recovery, I’m grateful for all the opportunities Thrive helps create for me and my neighbors to get involved and contribute to the betterment of the community.
