Thanks to Bob Rief, Renne Catalano Gussman, Sam Roberts, and Dana Rowley for organizing and Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas for hosting. #consumerbrands #peopledevelopment #lifestylebrands #actionsports #healthyliving

San Diego Sport Innovators (SDSI) is dedicated to positioning San Diego and Southern California as the heart of the healthy living, sports, and active lifestyle community. Our mission is to support companies at every stage, fostering not just job creation but jobs that contribute to making our city, our residents, and ultimately, our nation healthier and happier. For the past decade, I have been privileged to be a part of SDSI, serving on the Board of Directors for several years and actively participating in the SDSI CEO Forum, which convenes monthly. One of the cornerstones of SDSI is our Accelerator program, which offers free mentorship and guidance to sports and active lifestyle companies, not only in San Diego but globally. I’ve had the honor of volunteering with this program twice, and it has been a deeply rewarding way to give back to the community. In recent years, the concept of "community" has taken on even greater significance. I am immensely grateful for the leadership SDSI provides within the San Diego community. True community thrives on interactivity, friendship, camaraderie, and support. The more voices we have, the stronger our community becomes. We are always eager to connect with other leaders and companies who share our vision and wish to be part of this vibrant community. If you’re interested in learning more about SDSI, I would be delighted to share more. San Diego Sport Innovators (SDSI) https://lnkd.in/gHMTkB7j

I feel so fortunate to be part of this incredibly innovative and supportive group of #activelifestyle leaders in the SoCal region. So few associations truly advocate for their members and their industry, while everyone at San Diego Sport Innovators (SDSI) is focused on genuinely supporting one another. After 10+ years of involvement with San Diego Sport Innovators (SDSI) I can't wait to see what's in store for the next 10!
We’ve built a program, and an entire community, to connect lifestyle business founders. Why? Because we know shared knowledge make our entire industry stronger. And when our industry does well, more people can live healthier lives. Learn more about getting involved here: https://lnkd.in/gtRRKGsD
