Community Partners 

“As the world undergoes great turmoil and our local communities experience the uncertainties of the global economy, we are challenged to continue to invest in human relations institutions that create stability and unity during these difficult times. We remember those who died ten years ago on 9/11 and come together across our differences to show the world the strength that comes from diversity.”
- Mark Gaughan, President, Community Partners (Public Affairs Director, The Gas Company & SDG&E)
